calibre 0.6.0 released

[richman]

version 6.3 doesn't work at all.
I downloaded it twice and when trying to install says no exe file or corrupted exe file .
I downloaded 6.2 and earlier versions no problems, you might want to check it and correct it. Thanks.

I installed it on windows as usual, no problems.

I have version 0.6.2 on Vista-64. When I try to import 136 books (most in PDF format) from hard drive, system slows down to a crawl (I have Quad-Core, 8 gig of ram, 20 Gig free space on HD), runs out of memory in about 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive. SEEMS LIKE SOME MEMORY IS NOT BEING PROPERLY RELEASED.

When computer stopped responding completely (about 10 minutes, 30% of books imported), I managed to terminate it. Then I checked hard-drive- 20 Gig of space was GONE! Just like that. The Calibre book directory was only 20 MB, so I went to check windows temp directory, and, voila- it was overfilled with thousands of files named "magick-something", each one about 4 meg long. So, also- temporary files are not properly released.

What is going on?

Actually, there's no way the program can delete the temp files if you've terminated it before it's done.

I didn't know we are up to version 6.3 yet.

But, I did install 0.6.3 with no problems on my Windows XP Pro system.

Just wanted to request an update to the windows installer. When installing a new version the "installer" defaults to the "C" drive. Caliber 0.5.x as well as other windows apps actually show where an app is currently installed which may or may not be "C".
Thanks for a great product!!!

Thanks Jon!

[richman]

thanks too, I was troubleshooting the problem and wasn't sure if it was me or the program, and getting feedback helped me to cross off the program as being the problem. I did install tuneup utilities 2009 yesterday and that is what caused the problem, I rolled back my computer to right before I installed the program , and now the calibre program installs again.

I am having trouble since updating from 0.5, since installing 0.6 I have not been able to upload to the Sony reader. It all worked perfectly in the earlier version. Any suggestions

[itimpi]

What model of Sony Reader? I have a PRS-500 and I find it has to be plugged in before I start Calibre to be able to upload to it. In the 0.5.14 release I could plug it in at any time.

Is there a file size limit for epubs in calibre 6.

I tried loading a 18 mb epub and I get error messages. But I was OK on a 2 mb file.

Not hard coded, depends on the amount of memory your computer has. What error are you getting?

[AJ Starr]

Since your 6.03 worked OK on a 2 meg book, it is possible it is the 18 meg book, however the messages under the download indicated it worked OK.

When I tried opeing the above book in Calibre 6.03 I got the following:

When I hit View, it opens the window, acts like it's opening the book, then I get:

Error: Could not open ebook

When I hit "next page"(? the purple right arrow) I get:

Hopes this helps you, I'm not anxious about this, just a book I thought I'd peruse.

Thanks for all your hard work.

that's a very weird error message and it has nothing to do with file size. Indeed that book works fine for me (albeit in linux) Can someone else try it in windows please.
