Calibre error: KeyError: u'test1'

[deddajay]

I've suddenly started getting this error when switching libraries, it first happened after I tried to create a new one in the previous Calibre version. I thought a new update might resolve it, but it's still happening. Up to now, everything has been running perfectly. Any ideas how to resolve it would be appreciated as I'm finding it a bit annoying. Nothing else has changed on my system.

Many thanks.

It comes from the view manager plugin uninstall/disable that plugin and you will be fine. And report the error on that plugins thread.

The error message says it all:

File "calibre_plugins.view_manager.action", line 117, in check_switch_to_last_view_for_library

At the bottom of the View Manager plug-in customization window (accessed by its toolbar icon), change the option to automatically apply a view from "last used" to one that you have created. If you have none, create one, and use it.

Wow, thank you so much for the very fast response. I've removed the plug in for now and will play around with it when I have a bit more time. Error now gone.

Thanks, Kovid and DaltonST
