Hmm. Thanks for the suggestions. I wonder what's doing this?? I will uninstall some stuff I put on yesterday that might be the culprit/s. On my laptop I copy/deleted 399 books of about 4500 and it took (I kid you not) ONE HOUR.

Can you tell me how to optimize indexing? I really have no idea. Not something I have bothered with much. (I use Directory Opus as my file manager and it's super fast on searches.)

Running commentary ...

I don't have check for duplicates checked. (Assuming that's set with the option in Add Files?)

I also enter tags in the book list - the only tag I have is the author's country. When I have the info I want, inc a comment "jacket", I run the book through the Modify ePub plugin. As I posted in a separate thread, unfortunately somewhere along the way about 500 tags have been lost, and comments removed. These remain the in the ebook itself, but as gone from the booklist. !@#!@$% Very, very tedious repairing all this. On the laptop just the simple process of swapping author order is taking seconds instead of being instant instead of being instant as it used to be.

For AV I use eset32 Smart Security, and have done forever, which has never presented a problem before with Calibre or anything else. The only "new" things I've installed lately are an online adblocker (AdGuard) and the latest version of Auslogics BoostSpeed - I don't like either so they were going anyway.

I am moving 600 files of 5000 books in round figures on my PC as we speak and it's about 50% through after nearly 10 minutes. I uninstalled the suspect software and added everything Calibre as exclusions in my AV (which I believe DID make a small difference) but this is still pretty slow.

I have to say there is a BIG difference between i7 1.8GHz and i7 3.whatever GHz this PC is. I've had the PC since the release of the first i7 chipsets and it has never let me down! Not impressed much with the laptop. Should have been a little less mean and bought a faster model. I hate to wait!!

I will now go and do some experimenting on the laptop. I will report back!
