Searches and loading is fine. Only metadata change for more than one book freezes. If I edit one book it's no problem. Problem is the same either I edit 2 or 100 books.
I have quite a few custom columns, but none made from other columns, so why should my change in simple #kindle column with a few fixed values makes calibre freeze? Again, only if it's bulk edit.
Maybe with bulk edit it checks all fields if there are changes made even if you change only one value? I mean it checks all the options available in the bulk edit (my #kindel column, #genre, #type column and all others). Then it would seem logical why it takes a lot of time for me since there are a lot of columns to check.
Maybe there should be a change how bulk edit is done, to not check all values, but only the ones the changes were made to. There is Apply changes to columns in bulk edit to every column, so it would seem that it shouldn't go through all the columns, but maybe it does on some degree?
That would really explain why it freezes after bulk edit. But also rises a question why does it check all columns (if it does) if there is the "Apply changes" to every column which is ticked (v) when there are any changes made to that column.
It would explain why calibre freezes after bulk edit - it checks every single column, even if it shouldn't.
Hope at least somebody understood what I was trying to say. My english sometimes limits me.
