Try preview 9.11.104, this release contains a fix for some seemingly Qt regression:

OK, this was fixed in the latest Calibre version 9.12.

Can an Action Chain invoke a System action, i.e. Close, Maximise and Minimise. Assuming it cannot, could it be added… or is that a bridge too far?

A 'Run Python Code' action can call the UI's event handlers directly even if it isn't an official way:

gui.system_tray_icon_activated() looks like it toggles minimization.
gui.showMinimized() always minimizes.
gui.quit() quickly quits calibre.


(tested in 6.29 on a mac)

import time

def run(gui, settings, chain):
    # Minimize, restore and then quit calibre.
    gui.showMinimized()
    time.sleep(3)
    gui.system_tray_icon_activated()
    time.sleep(3)
    gui.quit()
