TEST: Last night I moved my library from OneDrive to C: drive. To understand your suggestion, I changed the auto_connect_to_folder variable to the new path, 'C:\\Users\\megha\\Calibre_Library_laptop'; applied change; quit/restarted calibre. No change; it restarted with a device attached.
Then I set the auto_connect_to_folder path to ''; applied change; quit/restart. SUCCESS!! No device attached. Thank you SO much for giving me a solution!
I never saw that variable prior to Kovid's suggestion, but the folder path was already set when I checked. So something I did from the GUI set it or a plugin did. For posterity: it seems like auto_connect to a folder might as well be auto_connect a device, yes?
Thank you everyone for working the problem! Thank you, Doc, for the solution  |
It is a Device setting, not the Start with Library setting.
Folder devices are commonly used when the manufacturers device can't be identified (specific device detection fails) or when a user wants to use "sneaker net" (SD cards) to get books to devices
