Remove book formats broken in 2.0?

Hendrixxxxxxxx · 08-23-2014, 01:25 AM

Is it just me, or are the various options for removing formats broken in 2.0? I have tried "Remove files of a specific format..." and "Remove all formats, except...".
Calibre just sits there looking at me like I'm an idiot (It's right, but that's beside the point!!)

Works for me, what OS are you on?

I am on OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.

I'll re-install and try again.

I re-downloaded and re-installed....and, I apologize, it is working....just slightly differently than previously.

Clicking and holding the drop down and releasing on, say, "Remove files of a specific format from selected books" no longer works (does not bring up the"Choose formats" window), but clicking on the dropdown, releasing, and then clicking on "Remove...." does.

Just a small change in behaviour, which I can easily live with.

Thanks Kovid.

Works for me on OS X as well. Though there have been a few random reports of menu items spontaneously not working on OS X. Usually, restarting calibre fixes that. Unfortunately, OS X is the platform on which Qt has the most bugs (I suspect because its underlying graphics technology stack is the most different from the other major platforms).

Thanks Kovid.

No issues - just a small change in behaviour which I hadn't previously picked up on.
All good. Thinking it's time for another donation.....
