Vanishing Plug-In Icons

EagleRidgeGal · 09-19-2013, 11:03 PM

Hey,
I'm using Calibre1.3 64bit, with a Kobo Glo and I wanted to add some plug-ins. So I initially just added two - Kobo Utilities and ExLibris. All fine. Yesterday I decided to also add Kobo Touch Extended and Annotations. The icon for KtouchExt never appeared at all on my toolbar and the icon for Annotations appeared and then vanished. I went into preferences and change calibre behaviour to see if I could force these icons to display on the toolbar (I have it set to tiny icons with no text and there is more than enough room for them to display). I could only find a new icon for annotations but not for KTouchExt. I added the Annotations icon and positioned it where I wanted it, I also added two new separators. I saved and applied. Restarted Calibre and Annotations (at least) appeared along with the new separators as I wanted it, for about 30 sec's! Calibre then, before I could do anything, reloaded the old toolbar. I tried uninstalling Kobo Utilities and leaving KTouchExt installed, all that happened was Kobo Utilities disappeared from the toolbar and there was still no sign of KTouchExt, let alone the errant Annotations icon. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I'd appreciate your help here. Thanks.

Your device was connected, right

30 seconds is about time for it to be detected: The the tool bar changes to the ...Device connected one.

You need to place the icons on Both if that is valid.

Go to Preferences - Toolbar and select the toolbar or menu of your choice then place the icon for those plugins in any spot you wish.

theducks and DoctorOhh have it right. But, the KoboTouchExtend driver plugin doesn't have its own icon. What is does is change the way calibre communicates to the device. You keep using the "Send to device" button and the same device button. If you are using it, you should also disable the standard KoboTouch driver in the plugin list in the preferences.

Thankfully you came by. It's obvious when you add "driver" to the plugin name.

Okay, understood. Thanks DavidF. I missed the driver reference too.
I appreciate your help guys, Thank you.
