As from my own selfish point of view the interruption of the previous modal dialogue box was never an issue for me in my workflow, I am agnostic regarding the change and so am easy whether it is modal or not.
However, the thing that had caught my eye was the new widget's dialogue is not a standard Windows one (as I see it here in my local environment?), whereas Calibre elsewhere (and the few plugins I use) generally seems to conform. And, as I said earlier, if I run the widget twice on the same book the dialogue reverts to the previous standard modal dialogue box for that book (I assume this could be a plugin issue).
So, assuming the matter is not just a local one here, just wondering why the need for the widget not using a standard Windows non-modal (so no interruption to users activities) dialogue box? Not any problem as far as I am concerned, I don't get uptight about cosmetic details, but am just curious.
