Supporting older calibre versions is an overhead for plugin developers and as I appear to have accidentally proven here can be non trivial to get right. I’m curious what the resistance point here is as a current example. It’s not as if you risk issues with your library - 6.x has been out for a long while now and Kovid does a phenomenal job with upgrades to make it seamless for users.

Sorry for the late reply. I did upgrade to an early version of v6 portable to test it out, I mainly use the viewer on my PC to read and I like to use the read aloud function with the highlighted text, it keeps me really focused on the material. Anyways after I upgraded to 6 and tried reading my first book, QT crashed and I had to restart Calibre. I tried a few times and it kept on crashing. I have zero issues with v5 and your plugin is great, if it fails I just try again and it usually works.

That's not something that I expect or desire, I really appreciate the work that you do and I'm very happy with the plugin even if it is an old version, it still works fine for me. I only have two plugins yours and action chains and both work great. I certainly didn't post here to complain, I just wanted to verify that the latest version wouldn't work with v5.
