I haven't had a chance to implement this fully, but I didn't have any crashes yesterday for the 30 odd minutes I used the program while having Barnes & Noble, Fantastic Fiction, GoodReads, and Webscription disabled. I only mention it because it actually caught my attention.

I will try to get more time tonight or tomorrow to test more extensively, but I was curious if one of those 4 could even be the culprit in the first place?
@Nyssa - those are metadata download PI's, they wouldn't have been in my short list of possible culprits. But, as I said trying to second guess these things isn't worth the effort.

Better to try to find a repeatable situation where the crash happens. Then uninstall all the optional PI's and repeat that scenario, if it still happens then that will prove (on balance of probabilities) that the problem is not with an optional PI.

If it doesn't crash then add the PI's back one at a time and re-test. Yes it's tedious, and best done without any interrupts, I tell myself its good for the soul. I've lost count how many times I've had to do it with Firefox extensions and Photoshop plugins.

And no need to apologise for going AWOL - real life must take precedence over the gadgets with which we surround ourselves.

BR
