Calibre 4.3 - Tag Browser Opens on Start - Page 2

kovidgoyal · 11-21-2019, 08:10 PM

Weird, the only way it could possibly print out the startup time on finish is if the initialize() method never returns. Which would break a whole bunch of other things. Try running with --ignore-plugins and see if that makes a difference.

And these startup numbers seem way off. With a few thousand books calibre startups shouldn't take ore than a couple of seconds on any decent system.

Playing around with it some yesterday evening shows that the startup times have gone back to normal; leaving Calibre active for a while and then quitting it no longer gives me a multi-minute 'startup time'. Copying my settings from another Calibre install also fixed the tag browser opening on startup-issue, so it looks like Calibre isn't updating some setting file correctly. I excluded my settings directory from Defender, but that didn't help.

I'll play with it some more this evening.

I've had a similar problem - changing the layout view option to show the cover browser then changing it back to not showing cover browser wouldn't save, now everytime I start up calibre it opens with the cover browser showing no matter how many times I disable it. Finally sorted it by looking at the gui.json file in the calibre preferences folder (I'm on macos) and manually editing this file so that the lines:

cover_browser_splitter_horizontal_state": [
true,
and
cover_browser_splitter_vertical_state": [
true,
are changed to false.

For some reason this file doesn't appear to be updating these changes automatically.. Perhaps @Kovidgoyal could look at this ?

I cant get it to do that, so hard for me to debug.

Here the tag browser keeps opening. Starting Windows in safe mode doesn't help. The debug log only shows an issue with the Find Duplicates plugin (which works fine regardless):

The item that worked for me was:
tag_browser_splitter_horizontal_state": [
false,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
