Hello, I've used calibre for a long time now and in the years I've added plenty of books, plug-ins and tweaks to the settings to get an experience that fit my needs.
It's some time now that I'm having two problems with my installation:
- Opening books (Epubs) in the viewer is very slow if it's the first time they're opened
- Exporting all of calibre's data either hangs indefinitely or ends without a prompt after writing some gigabytes of data
The first problem disappears if I start calibre with the option "--ignore-plugins", so the cause is clear. The second one's origin, however, is unclear and prevents me from switching to a clean calibre installation.
So my question is: how can I debug these two problems? I looked up the manual and tried calibre-debug, but it seems to be limited and I didn't get any useful information, and although I'm tech-savvy I can't really code or anything.
A note: I've had these problems for at least a year, so they are not related to calibre 7
