Hello,
is any of you having issue adding DeDRM plugin 10.03 to Calibre 6, running on Windows 10?

I get this error:

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hope that helps!

@igorius You have a plug-in "wikidata gui" which is not Calibre 6 compliant so need to disable that at least. You might want to report it in the Plug-in support thread for "wikidata gui" too, showing the debug above. If you start Calibre with all plugiins disabled, does the issue go away?

[igorius]

Ah, disabling the wikidata gui solved the problem! View and edit book works again! Didnt have to disable other plugins.
Thank you very much for that quick help!

Help,
I just installed new ver_6.1-64bit for Windows over previous version 5.44 using the Windows-msi-installer.

I had Calibre installed to some individual path. But this time after upgrading (for the 30th time or so) EVERYTHING IS SUDDENLY GONE!

The old Calibre-Dir is practically empty, all settings seem gone, all the links - when clicked - say that the linked program cannot be found and offer to delete the link/icon. A search across the whole harddrive cannot find any "calibre.exe" anywhere on the disk.

Whatever happened here? Calibre is gone!

I don't have the tool you used (Suggest please). The file size is / was correct.

Note: I just uninstalled. Verified NO Calibre2 folder, then installed 6.1 fresh. same file size and date. same wrong icon Makes no sense.
BTW I change Icon themes and that Icon did change, but reverted when I chose default.
Also note there is no icons like that in any of the 'configdir' resources\images. That Icon is not even in the Program folder (assume it is a PNG)
It is getting if from someplace on my system, but where (and why now?)

It's the standard Windows file Properties sheet (last item on file right click menu) with some additional (free) sheets from FeBooti ==>> ⁣FileTweak freeware modules

I'll PM some bits of my config that you can try in yours.

I put icons-any.rcc into resources and the icons into Images
All the regular icons changed to those

The supposed clear-left is STILL the same in an active search bar

AC heatpumps are pretty good for heating in winter - look up the COP thing, 1 kWh gets you the same heat as 3+ kWh worth of plain heater.

(Got an AC for that reason, bonus it helps in scorcher weeks.)

Do you have a file named "icon-theme.json" in your config, if so rename it, or deep-six it.

just to make sure its not coming from the system environment, have you tried installing a portable 6.

[kovidgoyal]

@algol1: You presumably had calibre 32 bit installed before, calibre 6 is 64bit only and it will be installed to a different location, that's all. You will need to either update whatever links you had, or uninstall calibre 6, and re-install it, clicking the advanced button and choosing whatever location you used before.

I do not have that file.
I will try Portable tomorrow.
FWIW it has to be something on this system as 2 others are fine.
Does any place (calibre) else use that icon: clear-left ?

Well, not so. I've switched to 64bit perhaps two years ago and always downloaded the 64bit-installer since then. Had no problem upgrading ever. But you may be on to something, it turned out that the applications administration in settings somehow knew 2 calibre-instances - so perhaps there were remnants of that in the registry.

Meanwhile I'm back in business but it was really hard work as I couldn't live with all individual settings set back to default.

What I had to do is to make a complete emergency-backup of the current corrupt situation, then re-install my last system-backup (losing about 2 weeks of progress) and start working v5.44 from there. Then I used the export function to save all calibre-content to a different folder. Now I could re-install the current situation from my "emergency-backup". Then - as you already suggested - I performed a complete uninstall first. And after performing a custom-install to my old path (which now had become available again) I could finally import the backup-folder made from the previous security-backup again.

Quite tedious - but I'm up and running again. Thanks for the advice though.

All Find boxes I think, e.g. the one at the tup of Tweaks



I switched to Light mode- much easier now
