It's generally when I delete items from the app, after I've converted. I get a big "this is why it crashed," again, window and I can click OK or Reopen.

Contrary to what the instructions say, I delete all ebooks after converting/changing the metadata (there is a lot of crappy formatting going around, out there. LOL) to my likes. I see no reason to keep my ebooks in the Calibre Library since they're synced to my iPad and iPhone, on my iMac, with a backup on an external drive. I don't need them in 3 different places.

When I'm done, I'm done. I'm not going to re-convert them or tweak them again.

Anyway, this newest version crashes 6 times out of 10 when I go to delete ebooks. Doesn't matter if it's 1 ebook or 20. Half the time I have to manually delete the Author folder from the calibre library, too. Although, this is an improvement over the previous versions as the empty Author folder would never delete.

Anyone else having this issue with this newest version? I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it's a fairly new iMac (purchased 9 months ago) with all idevices updated and current.
