That didn't work so I tried including a PC shutdown and restart before restarting Calibre. Still didn't work; spinning blue circle and had to close Calibre via the task manager.

I have two Win10 computers. One a desktop the other a laptop. Trying to customize the PI on my desktop freezes Calibre.The laptop lets me customize.

Well, I only have one computer (laptop) and I've about given up on this plugin. It's really a shame because I found it very useful at times.

It's quite possible that you'll do all that and find everything is working again - that is you won't find a problematic customisation. Perhaps in culling the unnecessary sites you eliminated the problem, or perhaps the json file you had was 'corrupt' in some way. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-07-2016 at 10:17 PM. |

tl;dr Verified the problem lies with a conflict with icon sets.
I was having the same problem. I could use the plug-in, but it would cause the spinning blue circle (Win10) when I would attempt to edit the plug-in. Some time ago, I rewrote the Library of Congress searches to work with their new code and assumed that something revolving around that was going wonky. That appeared to be substantiated by the fact that another profile on this PC was having no problems with the plug-in. So of course I renamed the file, uninstalled, reset. And yet....the problem remained. I have been using Calibre for 4 years now and so I switched the icons to the "Classic" set because the news ones threw me off my game. But switching them to the new default set solved the problem with editing the plug-in. For now, I'm going back to the problematic icons and the inability to edit the plug-in based on a purely utilitarian criteria (the icons impact has a far greater weight than the editing feature). But it would be nice to see plug-in get an overhaul. Also, if anyone is interested, here's how to search the Library of Congress now: ISBN: https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode1=KNUM&searchArg1={isbn}&argType1 =all&combine2=and&searchCode2=GKEY&searchArg2=&arg Type2=all&searchType=2&recCount=25 Title: https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode=TKEY^*&searchArg={title}&searchT ype=1&recCount=25 Author: https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode=NKEY^*&searchArg={author_sort}&s earchType=1&recCount=25 |

Lamoo has solved my problem.
I was using the classic icons. I switched to the default icons and customized the plugin successfully. Then I changed back to the classic icons and everything is great. |

I don't know why I can edit the PI's config on my laptop because everything is exactly the same - the library, all the PIs. Ah well, nice to have a work around! |

Minor but annoying spelling mistake in "fratings" dialog it says "set decimal retings".
The "fratings" app fails on large number of selected apps, it strips the ratings from the publisher but doesn't update the "gr_rating" column. If I only do a few at a time it doesn't seem to fail (it displays a confirmation dialog). Also if "fratings" run over small number of selected books it will update those successfully BUT it will clear ratings from all books publisher info. Last edited by dbareis; 12-09-2016 at 03:25 AM. |

Library of Congress connection is out of date
I tried to go to the Library of Congress to look up a book and was told that the plugin is going to their old web site, and it did NOT redirect to the new one so it needs to be fixed...
