I have the same problem with the Add Books dialog never disappering (on XP Pro +SP3). I wonder if Kovid's version of Windows is different in any way?
Looking at the Calibre source it I notice some strange anomalies between what I see and what I would expect to see:
- When adding multiple books a message is displayed in the dialog about "Reading Metadata" for every book except the last. The source implies there should be one even for the last file.
- Then after a few seconds the dialog back is cleared and goes to pure white (except for the title bar). There should be messages about adding the books to the database.
- After a delay, the main window becomes active again. At this point the Adding Books dialog should disappear but does not. I must admit, though, that looking at the source that I do not see how the progress.Hide() statement at the end of the block that should remove the dialog box is not working as expected.
As Kovid cannot reproduce this and I can do it reliably, I am going to play with tweaks at the source level to see if I can change this behavior, and also to confirm that the statements are being executed as expected from my reading of the source.
