i think my point here wasn't put across very well

I know its a tiny tiny issue.

one of the things I was trying to point out is that the error text shown in the pop-up isn't very friendly and is a little too 'programmer talk'. it was one of my parents who had the issue happen and they called me up having no idea what was wrong.

again I know its not massively important, I just thought it worth pointing out here.

and secondly as mentioned, just having the app close without giving the user more feedback is just a little inelegant.

I agree though, NEVER do a silent fail over. I'd absolutely never suggest that.

anyway guys, I'll take this chance to say hi to you all. Im really looking forward to getting more involved. I've written a few support apps and server stuff for calibre a year or so ago and i'm going to drop the code somewhere soon if any one is interested. Ive only just got the chance to start using calibre again after being kept away by work this last twelve months. (Sorry for using the bug post for this message)

cheers all
