Hello everyone!

I have a problem with catalog creation and I can't even get far enough to create a bug report before Calibre crashes.

My problem is the following:
I discovered the great feature of catalogs in Calibre. I decided to test it on a group of books (100 small files). The process starts, finishes, then Calibre doesn't respond, I can only choose 'Close Calibre' in the Windows error window (or wait, but then I'd just wait forever). After that I restart Calibre, see my empty catalog file - empty meaning that there's no format. Before it crashes I'm briefly able to access the Jobs dialog window to see the details. There I can see the Temp folder where the azw3 file is before it is finished. And the finished catalog is there alright, it just doesn't finish properly or something and doesn't show up in my main Calibre window.

Can I just copy the azw3 from the Temp folder and use that catalog file? Does my PC not have enough memory to create a catalog, is that why it crashes? I'd appreciate any help.
