My calibre installation has basically stopped working. It opens, but whenever I click or hover over the window, the cursor just spins (Macs Spinning Pinwheel of Death.) It stops after a few minutes, but the instant I move the cursor, it happens again (I can sometimes get a click in).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR follows:
I had it installed on an iMac running 10.12.2 when I first encountered the problem this week. When 10.12.3 came out, I installed that, but still have the problem. Ive been using Calibre for years and just went over 10,000 books this week (shouldn't be a problem, but coincidental.) The OPDS server feature still works fine with no issues.
I copied a backup of my book database from before the problem, but it didnt help. Ive uninstalled calibre, deleted the preferences (folder and plist file), reinstalled the latest version, and am still having the problem.
It seems like it could be my book files since I dont have the problem if I open a new library and add a dozen books in.
If I create a new library and incrementally add books back in (by Finder copying files into the Calibre folder and then using Calibres Rebuild database command), it works with about 10% of the books loaded, but adding more causes the same problem. Im adding by letter, e.g., authors starting with a, then b, etc. It doesnt matter which letter I start with and which ones I add next.
I was hoping it might be one bad book file and I could narrow it down, but if that's the case, my experience seems to indicate it may be many randomly scattered throughout my database.
