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.

thanks Ducks. When you say 'connect to folder' is that the same thing as when I was trying to open the pdf and put it into Calibre?
So in other words when you make a usb drive
do something it becomes a device, right? And then since the eReader is a device already, having one device (the usb drive) interacting with the other device (the eReader) was what was causing the wonkiness, right?
