"Restart" when running from source

ownedbycats · 07-27-2021, 11:05 PM

Is there any way to make the Restart button actually restart Calibre when running from source? Currently, it just closes it.

Pressing Ctrl+R to restart works fine for me running from source.

I tried Ctrl+R and it just closed Calibre.

Here's the batch file I run it from.

Code:

@ECHO OFF
set CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM=D:\Documents\git\calibre\src
"c:\Program Files\calibre2\calibre-debug.exe" -g

I see the same thing on Windows. A restart just shutdowns cleanly. It did work, but, not for a while. It might have changed with v5, but, I am not sure.

You are running calibre-debug -g run calibre.exe instead and it will be fine.

And this should take care of it: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...e9848fc2cda893
