Menu Items and Libraries Disappeared

Tarana · 07-01-2019, 11:46 AM

Ok, first, my libraries are still there and I'm adding them back.

I am totally puzzled though. What could I have done that would have eliminated all my added menu items (like Epub Split and Duplicates) that were plug ins as well as the library links. I did leave my computer running last night for a download (which ran out of space and timed out). However, I had closed Calibre before I left the computer last night. This happened once before and at that time, I did not run out of space.

Finally, is there an easy way to get those plug ins back into the menu?

Something stomped or blocke access to you config folder. This is where stuff that works regardless of which library.
The Library itself stores columns and those configs.

Which Operating System and which version.

I'm guessing you don't keep backups of your application configuration data. The FAQ item on Backups provides guidance on how to do that for calibre.

No, don't have that. Thanks for the link and I will look at it. I have Windows 10, not sure how to find build.

It's 99% certain your config data would have been in the folder c:\users\<your login name>\appdata\roaming\calibre

Maybe you are logging into Windows with different names.
