Moving books to other library possible only once

Tuxracer · 08-18-2022, 06:41 AM

Hello,

Calibre 6.3
Apple MacBookPro 2021 mit M1-CPU, MacOS 12.5.1

I select several eBooks and move them via the menu (right mouse button -> copy to library).
and then copy with delete.
Works

Then I select more eBooks and want to move them, but the menu under "right mouse button -> copy to library" no longer opens.

Occasionally the menu appears after some time but is built up very slowly.

After restarting Calibre, everything is fine again.
I have this behaviour for the first time today, it must be related to the last update.

Both Libraries need to be on a local (hard wired) drive.
What you describe has happened when I tried to push to a Library on the Network (another PC). It would work until it didn't. (which is why the rule: Don't do that)

Hello,
the libraries are all located on the local hard disk.
I use the function all the time because I use auto-import to save new eBooks to a library, edit them there and then move them to a theme-based library at the end.

I rebooted my Macbook earlier and at the moment it works again, even several times in a row.

I will continue to observe this.
