@JimmXinu - re: Identifiers: Ah! Okay, that’s fine then. Thanks!

Re: crashing: I’m leaning towards it being an interaction with FFDL, because the library switching crashing is the only non-FFDL crash that Calibre exhibits regularly. It doesn’t react that way to doing the same thing with any of the other toolbar or menubar items. Actually, I just tested, and if I remove FFDL, the library switching crash stops happening. Reinstall it and the behaviour returns. All the crash reports, whether library or menu/window share:

“Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000008“

I understand about not having a system to test it on being a problem, but if you think that you might get something useful out of a crash report, I’d be happy to send one to you.

Re: Reports: I’ve been using FFDL with Calibre for a few months. There’s a threshold of usability below which it didn’t seem worth it to ask. Until I worked out enough of a pattern of things to avoid in order find that it was possible to have a functional library it didn’t seem stable enough that it would be useful to pursue. If I’d given up in frustration before I’d gotten there, I wouldn’t have reported.

I read the same thing, so I never turned “Enable System tray icon” on in the first place.

Is there a different thread or forum I should try asking about the crashing in?
