I am using Windows 10 and have been using Calibre for about six years. Suddenly I can't add any books. When I choose Add Books the program sits for a while and then says 'not responding' and that's it. I have upgraded to version 4.? and then back to 3.48 -- no change -- and back to 4.? The only thing I have done with the library recently was delete some books (which I've done often in the past). Here's the result of running in debug mode -- none of this makes any sense to me but perhaps someone can help. PLEASE!!!
