I'm glad we could isolate the issue and get you up and running.
A couple of ideas about the cause of the issue:
It's possible that Versomatic's method of saving each incremental version of a file somehow ties up the source file for an instant, causing the application manipulating that source file to pause for that same instant. If Versomatic itself crashes during that instant it may leave the application, in this case Audiobook Builder, in a state where it never returns from manipulating that file. That would lead to a beach ball, and possibly to an application that can't be forced to terminate, as you experienced.
Also, I think your version of Versomatic is older than the latest available. While both are version 1.0 the developer seems to be using build numbers as part of their version scheme. Ours is build 49 and is dated about two months younger than yours. An older version may be less stable or less compatible with various file operations. Unfortunately, there's no version history at the Versomatic website so we can't tell if any stability or compatibility changes have been made in the run up to the current build.
I have a hunch something low-level between Versomatic and Audiobook Builder did not go well, likely a simple crash in Versomatic that left a file operation hanging, and Audiobook Builder was left in limbo waiting for that file operation to return. What you experienced there wasn't really a crash, because the application was still technically functioning - it just couldn't get to a point where it could tell you that. If you need it I wouldn't count Versomatic out, though. Give the latest build a try and see how well it works.
