Built-in Ebook Viewer

jazzbo · 10-03-2019, 07:30 AM

As of a few versions of Calibre ago I can not longer use the built-in Ebook Viewer. The application appears in my tray (Using Win 10) I click on it and it opens to a blank white screen, no text. Anyone have a suggestion?

;bulb: (you may have set white on white)
in the USERS calibre configuration folder. rename (as a safety)
viewer.json -> viewer.json.old
then try
(You can always remove the '.old' to put YOUR settings back if this did not work)

It's not just that the viewer is white/empty, the app launches to the system tray only & not full screen as it normally did.

Made latest update & I can't view anything?

Suddenly it's working? No Idea why. But NEVERMIND!

Thanks, for responding so quickly. The kind of support Mr. Goyal provides for a FREE application (not to mention the quality of the application to start with) should be the "norm" in the industry.

I have many applications I have purchased that don't have such responsive support.

Thank you, Mr. Goyal.
