Calibre & Adobe Digital Editions being open at same time

ownedbycats · 03-21-2021, 01:05 AM

Are there any known issues with having the two open while a device is being connected?

I just did that and it had some odd results: Calibre got stuck on "get list of books on device" until I forcibly closed ADE (which had quit responding).

I will try not to have both of them open again but if it's a I surprised it did this instead of one of them error the locked database thing.

I believe the only real issue is that of bandwidth; both apps will be trying to scan the Kobo's file system at the same time via the USB connection.

That would make sense. Thank you.

I quite often have ADE and Calibre open at the same time. No problem at all.

It might be with an MTP device, as they might only let one host application connect. Doesn't apply to Kobo as it's proper mass storage. It might be slower if both applications are already open when you connect.
