Maybe there's something wrong with the cbr files I tried it on, but this way I can't even find out (unless I leave the computer churning for an indefinite period -- I don't know how long since the programme doesn't give an estimate of that).

If so, I'd prefer a simple error dialogue that I can click away. This way it's hard even to get to the process manager and shut the process down.
This is normal. I see it every time I convert an ebook (no matter the format).
