It seems Copy/Paste in Linux doesn't work predictably. Why would GIMP crash on a copy/paste action? It shouldn't be influenced by the paste action. IIRC, copy/paste did work in Windows, but I have to test it again to make sure.



Thanks. I didn't know about that tweak. I've been using Calibre for 10 years, and this tweak has always been at the default size... and I already have covers in the library that are larger than the default values. However: drag and drop from the browser SEEMED to work, but then Calibre would discard the cover. After setting higher values for this tweak, Calibre does save the cover. Drag and drop and later resize in the editor is mostly enough.

I've installed 5.34.0 again indeed; I'll have to watch out for the TOC editor though. For some reason it seems to be unreliable, but I can't really test it. Often it works, but sometimes it loses information. I'll just have to save every 5 edits or so.
Copy/paste works for me.

using a new built of:
Linux Mint 20.2
Cinnamon 5.0.7
Kernel: 5.4.0-91-generic x86_64 bits:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Firefox 95.0.1

what file manger are you using?
I am using Nemo 5.0.5

Can you set up test system on a usb stick use for troubleshooting purposes?
