I upgraded from 3.41->3.41.1->3.41.2->3.41.3->3.42->3.43->3.44->3.45->3.45.1->3.45.2->. The releases I skipped are struck out and grey. I notice I have several pairs of [xxxxx.py + xxxxx.py.json], and [yyyyy.pickle + yyyyy.pickle.json]. Should I have both? BR Last edited by BetterRed; 07-16-2019 at 05:58 AM. |

Kovid changed the way these preferences were stored in 3.41. This converted the .py files to .py.json. Once that was done, the conversion isn't done again and the .py files are ignored. All the versions up to and including 3.44 did this correctly. That means if you installed any version in the 3.41 to 3.44 range of version, everything is OK. But, if you skipped directly to 3.45.x, the conversion of the .py files to .py.json could be wrong and the options will probably be reset to the defaults. It depends on exactly what was in the .py files. The driver configurations will all be affected. I don't know about the other files. One warning is that the conversions are done as needed. You need to actually use calibre for the conversions to happen. Just installing one of these versions of calibre won't convert the files. |

Uninstalls leave all settings and libraries. That is the reason you need to (JUST) remove the .py.json files (they are built differently from the source py files for later versions. You need to do each update to keep them in step)

Thank you Kovid and David. I followed your instructions to downgrade to 3.44, then re-upgrade to 3.45 and now everything has been restored properly. Thanks for such an amazing program and such fantastic support!
BTW, kudos on your install program. It is the fastest installer/uninstaller I've ever seen. |

If so, it would be wise to communicate this fact to the users. |

No you do not need to do that. There was a bug in 3.45 that broke migration of config files, that bug is fixed. And has bothing to do with plugins being missing or not.
