Hmmm ... that doesn't happen to me on calibre 5.23/Windows 64. What I tried:
- Open Preferences.
- Click Template functions
- Entered a new name in the Template name box.
- Entered "program: 1" (a trivial GPM template) into the template box.
- Pressed the Create button.
- Pressed the Apply button. The Template functions dialog closed and the Preferences dialog was exposed.
- Pressed the Close button. The Preference dialog closed.
Using the shortcut also worked, without of course seeing the preferences dialog.
What are you doing different from the above? What version of calibre are you running, on what OS?
NB: I am the developer of the calibre template language. If there is a hang I really want to know how to reproduce it.
