I'm wondering if someone has the answer I need. I recently switched from Win7, using Calibre 3 and also portable Calibre 6. I've used Calibre for years.
Once I couldn't update the portable version any more a few months ago I decided to bite the bullet and get a new computer with Win11. I keep Calibre updated as soon as it's available.
My problem is, when I edit Metadata for epubs and mobis, as soon as I change the author name or book title, it takes a long time to process and close the Edit Metadata window. If I change anything else, like series name, description, etc it processes and closes instantly. But changing those 2 things hangs it up for sometimes up to 5 minutes.
Now if I just put them in Calibre and come back to them the next day, even without rebooting the computer, 9 times out of 10 they will process instantly. I realize that these 2 changes probably makes the book move to a different folder but with my old computer, even with portable v6 it was instantly processed. Is there something I can do to fix that? Is there a plugin that will help? I have my library on a drive other than my c drive. My c drive is a solid state and the rest are not. Would switching the library to the c drive help?
Thanks in advance.
