Calibre locks up since last update
Hello, I have been using Calibre for years and absolutely LOVE IT!! I have never had any issues with it until today. I downloaded the new update and installed it and now whenever I click on the convert button or edid metadata button, Calibre locks up and I have to go into task manager and manually shut it down. I have never had this issue before so I assume it is something with the new update. I am running Windows 8. Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong? I have deleted and reinstalled it twice and that hasnt helped.

Placing/moving the window/dialog to it does. <rant> (Windows or the 'Library' is stupid in that it should always check that the dialogs open with at a portion in the current available Screen area) </rant> |

checkbox : Don't save window state (size, position, monitor) on exit button : Save current window state (size, position, monitor) as it is now I would use it even though I don't use a 2nd monitor with calibre. I don't like programs that assume I want to restore the shambles in which I last left it. I know many do, but I'm not one of that many, I'm one of the other many One of the reasons I like the View PI, it its option to restore a designated view - so the ad-hoc sort I did just before I closed calibre yesterday is where IMO it belongs - in the dustbin of History.

I also use Actual Tools Window Manager, it helps with this sort of stuff, it costs and it works; the freebies mightn't cost, but in my experience they also don't work. BR |
