I added my account and password in Preferences. Thanks for pointing that out for me.

However, even after a restart calibre doesn't seem to be using librarything any more. For example I went back a version and tried to download the metadata for 'Four from Planet Five' from Murray Leinster and got the usual two server error messages:

Failed to download cover for the following:
Four from Planet Five
openlibrary.org covers - ISBN: 9781434466907 not found
librarything.com covers - ISBN: 9781434466907 not found

Doing the same with the current version 0.7.43 it only displays the openlibrary.org error when I attempt the same request.

That being the case I'm left wondering if it is actually using librarything.com in the query at all now, and if it is why no error message.

The download plugin is still enabled (Green) in Preferences, so I'm assuming it should still be generating that error if it is being used. Is there another box I can check to get that going, or is this something that I should report as a bug?

Any thoughts?

And again, thanks for the help.
