"Remove Books" in Calibre

gjbalzano · 03-22-2017, 07:48 PM

This seems like it should be simple, but I'm not finding it to be so.

Seems to me, once upon a time in Calibre, the "Remove Books" command led to a confirmation "Are you sure you want to remove selected book(s)?", along with the option to disable this confirmation dialog, i.e. a "don't show this again" checkbox. One day, when I was doing a lot of book removal, I chose to disable the confirmation. It's possible I'm imagining this, but I don't think so.

Anyway, now I wish to take back my choice. Removing books is something I do only occasionally, and something I don't wish to do inadvertently, as I have done a few times. So I assumed the way to address this was by modifying the behavior of the "Remove Books" plugin. Except when I try to do that, I'm told "Remove Books plugin needs no customization", or words to that effect. So, presumably, there's a correct way of doing what I'm trying to do, and the way I'm using is not it.

Can anyone help me with this (seemingly) "simple" problem?

Thanks,
Jerry B

Press Preferences->Behaviour->Reset all disabled confirmation dialogues button - it's all or nothing option.

Thanks so much for your quick response. That should do it.
