ERROR: Cannot remove built-in plug-in

Agama · 08-13-2012, 06:12 AM

After introducing a bug into one of my plugins I can no longer remove the plugin from the list of installed plugins. I get the message: "Cannot remove built-in plug-in". The plugin name is TweakIt and is not a built-in plugin.

I fixed the bug in version 1.0.3 but it will still not let me remove 1.0.2. I have tried shutting down and restarting calibre but this didn't help. Any ideas? Do I need to re-install calibre?

Just delete it from the plugins sub directory of the calibre config directory.

Where do I find the calibre config directory? I have searched all of c:\Program Files (x86)\ but I can't find any trace of my rogue plugin.

Preferences->Miscellaneous->open config directory

Thank-you, that's got it sorted and has also been interesting. (I now know where my .json files end up!)
