Calibre launches in OSX Tiger then closes
Hi,
I have been using Calibre successfully on a Snow Leopard Mac and am very impressed by the work that's gone into it. Yesterday I downloaded Calibre for my wife's slightly older iMac still running Tiger. It installs from the dmg okay, but when double-clicked, the bouncing icon appears on the dock, then just as quickly closes and disappears from the dock. No crash as such, it just won't stay launched. The Force Quit display window shows no Calibre process running. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts? |

----- Usage: main.py [opts] [path_to_ebook] Launch the main calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the ebook at path_to_ebook to the database. Whenever you pass arguments to main.py that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. main.py: error: no such option: -p ----- Thanks for any suggestions. Kurt |

Same in Leopard
Yesterday I updated to version 6.20 and now it crashes. I tested in several Macs with several versions of OS (From Tiger to Snow Leopard) and its crashing in all of them
Unfortunately I trashed the previous version of Calibre so now I can't use it. This is my syslog: Code:

there was a bug in the calibre OS X build i uploaded a fixed build more than 24 hours ago. Just re-download and you should be fine (make sure you actually re-download and dont get a cached version)
