I actually didnt expect windows 8 to fail, but in testing, people trying to run calibre reported Qt's windowing backend fails to create windows on Windows 8. Given that 8.1 is EOL in a few months I really didnt have the time/interest to try to debug why that is. See the report in the calibre beta 6 thread.

DeDRM worked fine for me when I went back to V5.4. I couldn't get it to work in V6 either and not having it is not as workable a solution for me as simply going back to v5.4

calibre uses the pdftotext utility from the poppler project to extract text from PDF files. If you have some PDF files that are not being indexed, opena bug report and attach one or two and I will see if anything can be done to coax pdftotext to do better. |

@slantybard: That's an issue with loading libcrypto on macOS. If the developer of FFF will post a code snippet for whatever code is causing it to load and fail I will iinvestigate if something can be done.
Incidentally this is likely the same issue that affects the noDRM plugin on macOS. |

Hi, I'm fairly new to Calibre. Thankyou Kovid for your great work in creating this. I've just upgraded to version 6. I use a Mac (OS Monterey 12.3). I'm not very tech savvy. Apologies if this is the wrong forum too.
I just tried to add several books from Adobe Digital Editions folder but cannot. Here is one error message. calibre, version 6.0.0 ERROR: Cannot add books: Failed to add some books, click "Show details" for more information. Worker process crashed while executing job Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 108, in recv File "calibre/utils/ipc/__init__.py", line 24, in eintr_retry_call File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 221, in recv_bytes File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 419, in _recv_bytes File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 388, in _recv EOFError Before updating, I tried to instal deDRM (several times). I don't know if this succeeded as I could not see this App anywhere on Calibre. I then tried to convert an epub book to mobi for a book that would have had DRM and that seemed to work. Could it be that deDRM is preventing me adding books? If so, how would I remove deDRM? Thankyou |

That's a crash inside Qt's QFontDatabase. Any unusual fonts on your system? Try validating your fonts as described here: https://www.howtogeek.com/405240/how...onts-on-a-mac/

I'm able to use two-fingers to scroll the main list up and down, but single-finger events don't register at all in the main window. I can use single-finger touches to select icons from the menu, groups (Authors, Languages, etc.) from the left sidebar, and can double-tap the book image on the right sidebar for a summary. However, selecting any book in the main window is not possible without using a pen or mouse.
Device Specifics: MS Surface Pro 7 Windows 11 Home version 21H2 (Latest patch 2022-06 KB5014668) Calibre 6 (Upgraded from 5.44) |

But, if you do have a problem, you should check the database copy to make sure it wasn't already corrupted. |

I looked briefly into the issues caused by the dedrm plugin on macOS. As best as I can tell the problem is it tries to load the system libcrypto instead of loading the one bundled with calibre. Apple doesnt allow loading of system libcrypto. Easily verified by doing:
Code:
calibre-debug -c "import ctypes; from ctypes.util import find_library; l = find_library('crypto'); print(l); ctypes.CDLL(l)" /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib WARNING: /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way zsh: abort /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -c Code:
calibre-debug -c "import ctypes, sys, glob, os; l = glob.glob(os.path.join(sys.frameworks_dir, 'libcrypto*.dylib'))[0]; ctypes.CDLL(l)" Code:
if hasattr(sys, 'frameworks_dir'): lib = glob.glob(os.path.join(sys.frameworks_dir, 'libcrypto*.dylib'))[0] else: lib = find_library('crypto') |
