I have had 3 Flash drives connected at the same time. That is not THE issue.

Only if one behaves as a Device, is the issue. Connect to Folder makes a drive appear to be a device (very useful for devices that Calibre can't identify properly, but appear as a drive to the OS)

The status line at the bottom usually indicates: xyz connected if that happens
(and the 'Location Bar', which is device type sensitive, appears. Preference:Toolbars: ...when connected)
and the OnDevice column shows. these are all clues

Normally Connect to Folder expires when you close Calibre (or eject the folder device)

BUT

there is a tweak:

Code:

#: Specify a folder calibre should connect to at startup

to force a reattach

Some USER tweaks were done a looooong time ago and forgotten about. Things changed and now the tweak is producing unexpected results.
