Besides which, it should not be a "context switch". Just because I have a device plugged in does not change context. In all probability it could well be plugged in just to charge. That changes nothing about how I want to be using calibre, but this nonsense about adding icons to multiple toolbars *forces* the user into either working differently, unplugging their device, getting confused, or faffing around with the clumsy process of putting icons on multiple toolbars, and trying to keep them all in sync or else icons get moved around just because their device is plugged in.
It is a silly idea that I hate with a passion. But as I have said before, my views on this are based around using and supporting a lot of plugins - and GUI plugins didn't exist when this implementation was created in calibre.

I agree with you completely that's why I use the 2nd toolbar for all my plugins etc and the main toolbar I just keep the basic buttons.
