Problems with adding of new ebooks

My home directory is on a ext4 partition. The calibre database or library is located there.
The ntfs partition is a mass storage for my pictures, ebooks and music-files.

Now I played with the command lines to find out whether they give me the possibility
to add my ebooks from the ntfs partition to the calibre database.

I searched in the KDE-menue entery the exec command and found the following:
calibre --detach %F. This command line isn't working. I don't need a --detach option
in a menue, because I have no terminal to detach. This time calibre is working without
any problems. I changed the menue entry in following file:

~/.local/share/applications/calibre-gui.desktop

I deleted --detach in this file.

Now my question: Why this time it's working (without the detach option) and why it
isn't working with --detach?

Perhaps the future calibre versions are working as well as this I changed the
calibre-gui.desktop.
