Seems to hang = "Not Responding" error on the window title bar and no advance in the progress bar or title names being imported. Task manager shows no cpu activity from calibre. The only recovery option is to close calibre and restart it again. I've even tried leaving it overnight to see if it "catches up" but it's truly frozen.
It doesn't seem to hang at the same point or on the same file. It will hang at different times - sometimes after adding (for example) 1200 books, sometimes after only 120.
I'm not trying to add 10,000 at one time. I first tried only 2500, then 1000, then 250 at a time. Even with 100, it still might hang (although, the smaller the volume, the more likely it would succeed).
This would all be tolerable, because I could just restart in the file list wherever it crashed except for one thing: The filenames are all just a series of letters, so I don't know where it ended. Furthermore, I can't simply use a file count (300 books succeed, so resume at the 301st file) and here's why: They're all htm files and calibre gets the book title from the html header info (<title></title>) instead of the unique and correct <h1></h1> location where I would like calibre to look. Unfortunately, when these files were originally made, they occasionally used the same <title></title> header info from other books, so caliber sees them as duplicates. It will then never import those because when it hangs, it never asks if I want to include duplicates and thus leaves them out. So my file count isn't reflective of where it left off.
If I could get calibre to use <h1></h1> as the title source (and <h3></h3> for author which it also never sees), then I could better rely on a file count to resume after the hang, as there shouldn't be any duplicates. I've only see a way to add or change expressions for getting data from the filename, but no way to tweak the way it gets data from the file contents.
Sorry if this is all noob stuff and I appreciate your help!
