Can't really comment much on that. Since you tried and noticed a speed improvement, it must be the reason of the delay.

Thanks.

Don't thinks so. Give it a try and see for yourself.

In the Chain Variables action, the checkboxes for iterate and runtime don't seem to work. On an existing one I can uncheck runtime but not re-check it.

EDIT: Exiting Calibre and ediitng the json file to modify it to true works, but isn't ideal.

I cannot replicate this. It works normally for me.

In the conditional dialog, the option to add a custom failure message rather than this:

calibre, version 6.13.0
ERROR: Cannot run chain: Action Chains: conditions for chain (Read) are not met

This specific chain uses a selection_count() check so I would put something like "Only run this chain on a single book."

The condition dialog is crowded enough as it is. The best I can do is to inlucde the condition's toolitp in the error message. Will add this to the next version.
