Bug Description
I have Calibre 5.31.1 64 bit installed under Winows 10.
I have book reader pinned to my task bar, and when I wanted to re-open a book to continue reading, I would normally have done this using the jump list from the task bar.
With the previous release, doing this started to cause difficulties, and with the current build it always fails to open a book this was. The book reader opens, but then it's a neverending loading next section.
If I open the book reader first from the task bar, and then select the book using the list presented within it's no problem at all.
This is more habit I guess because that's the way I've done it for years, but clearly something has also changed either by design or through a bug.
I no longer have a windows 10 test system, but on my windows 11 machine
opening books via the jump list of a pinned e-book viewer icon works
fine for me.
Opening via jump list just calls ebook-viewer.exe with the file path as
far as I know. Just like using open with in windows explorer. Does that
work for you?
