Calibre 2.6/7 strange bug with copying
Hello,
Sometimes the copy function ceases to function. I am able to resolve it with reboot of the operating system. I am using Windows 8.1 with calibre portable installer. |

Do you mean the Copy to library function? If not that, then what Copy function?
What do you mean by 'sometimes [...] ceases to function'? Does it hang, pop an error message, do nothing, copy some of the selected books and not others etc. BR |

Hello BetterRed,
Copy text function stops functioning, so basically I can't copy anything from a certain ebook. I fix that when i close all opened ebooks as well as the library and issue "cmd /c echo.|clip" to restart windows clipboard service. |

Browse the Miscellaneous section of Frequently Asked Questions in the manual. It mentions a few 3rd party products that have been known to cause problems when they run alongside calibre. If you're running anything mentioned there, try closing it. If no luck with the FAQ, try disabling everything possible in startup, along with any 3rd party shell extensions, and/or see what happens in Safe Mode with no network. If that solves the problem, then you'll have to determine the 'culprit' by a process of elimination. FWIW: I run 4 clipboard related programs at startup - ClickTo, ClipboardFusion, Textify, and Shelltoys - none of which prevent me Copying Text from calibre. Just to be sure, you might want to use your installed AV software AND one or two others such as Malwarebytes and Trend Micro's HouseCall to check for malware. BR |

Hello,
I don't have any clipboard assistances or pretty much anything else than base OS and antivirus. This issue wasn't present on 2.5 and lesser versions. |

One thing to try before any of BetterRed's suggestions is to try the current version of Calibre in safe mode. That means you'll be running a clean Calibre in case any of the plugins could be the problem.

@alexsz - you need to run this command calibre --ignore-plugins, either at the command line or in the Run box (Winkey+R). Added - see next post BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-15-2016 at 07:46 PM. |
