Kindle book cover thumbnails disappearing

This bug fix works well as long as I side-load using a USB cable but it doesn't seem to work if I download books using calibre-server. Am I missing something here?

[Solved]

Kovid,

Solved it! This command will kill the server (and the GUI, if it's running):
kill $(ps aux | grep '[c]alibre*' | awk '{print $2}')

[Solved] Calibre email fails

OK, I found Tweaks, duh. Feel like a doofus.

As to the email thing - the test function crashes on me. I tried SSL encryption and that solved the problem for me!

Yes. I use Linux Mint with the Nautilus file manager. That's what creates .Trash-1000. This is the first time it's ever screwed me though!

Reading books? How novel! Sorry.

I have the same Kindle and the directory DOES exist in mine. Maybe the difference is the software version? I upgraded to 4.0.1.
