But next time they were locked again. Here's why: after running my 'multilib_calibrespy.bat' (three starts as per post
37) I minimise the associated windows, viz:
I use WinKey+T and arrow keys to select a calibrespy window, and Alt+space, N to minimise it again. When its time to close down I use Win+T, Menukey, Close all windows, viz:
To me that's a perfectly valid way to close tasks gracefully. I've been doing it for decades. On XP I used an addon to give me keyboard navigation of the taskbar. I do it all the time for Office and other multi-instance programs.
If I open each calibrespy window and click its Exit button individually, and I close the cmd windows individually I don't get the locks.
I've patched my version of calibrespysettings_remove_multiuser_status.bat into the top of my multilib_calibrespy.bat. Feel free to suggest a better way, but I'm happy with that.
I can't remember the last time calibre crashed, assuming it ever has, and I'd bet next weeks lunch money calibrespy has never crashed. So I'm happy to take the risk of running multiple instances of CS for hours on end. Being able to flick in and out of different libraries is a boon.
Thanks for the Ctrl+L tip, I should have guessed that
