[Closed] Issues with Version 6 - Page 11

DeDRM has a new update that hopefully to fix the issues for Mac users.

JasperBeardly · 07-13-2022, 04:34 PM

DeDRM 10.0.3 does seem to be working on Mac. Just tested opening some books and importing a couple of books and no problems so far.

The icon is behaving strangely on MacOS 12.4, M1 chip. I have it pinned to my toolbar. When is is not open, I see the colorful "four books" icon. When I tap to launch it, it immediately switches to a simple light grey Greek temple. On quit, it reverts to the four books. I have restarted my computer, to no avail.

You are absolutely right and I erred. Can I blame it on this absolutely awful heat wave in France that is frying my brain as I try to survive in a camper. I am obviously not doing anything well in this heat. It is predicted to be back in the 40s or 110°F this week. Just terrible.

Gotta love how residences in Europe and the UK don't have air conditioning in most homes.

Thanks

There is a new release of the DeDRM Tools updated to 10.0.3. See the New version of DRM removal tools ("DeDRM") for a bit more information.

I've seen somewhat similar behaviour when I switch from using my laptop's internal display set to 125% and an external monitor set to 100% to just using the internal display. It happens with other programs so I tend to look at it as a video driver/Windows glitch and not something that calibre does.

Doing this is also a good way of getting familiar with how to move an application window back onto the screen using the arrow keys.

What is this really supposed to be?
BTW it is ok in 5.99.11 (the back X )

In a similar vein, what's this for.

I think its contents are updated by the viewer.

FTR: my configuration folder is at the location referenced by CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY

I think it moved (actually the old is still there).
It was in%appdata% Local

You're right - I don't look in there as often

I 'had' a lot of additional icons (e.g. mimetypes) and icon overrides in my <configuration>/resources/images folder - when I start calibre 6 they get removed. My configuration folder is at the location referenced by CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY configuration - which normally has a value of C:\_AppData\Calibre\Config_64bit

The attached image shows what I 'have' there after starting calibre 6 (nothing), alongside what I 'had' there from my backup device. If I close calibre 6, then restore the images folder contents from backup, and then start calibre 6 I see the C:\_AppData\Calibre\Config_64bit\resources\images folder gets emptied just before the book list appears.

Here the debug log

When I am attempting to add a link to a author via the Manage option [Preview Window - right click Author - select Manage - edit link field] Calibre crashes out when OK is selected after editing. No BSOD, no warning, no error message, just closes completely and instantly.
Calibre 6 Win10Home 21H2 Build-19044.1826
Restarted without Plugins - no change
Restarted in Debug - data file attached, doesn't seem to write anything

Confirmed - my link was a calibre link to another book in another library.
