fredex · 05-01-2019, 09:04 PM

I have, in the past run Calibre on Windows 10, to import Kindle books, and in that environment the file listing shown in Calibre includes the date/time for the files from which to choose.

I am now running Calibre in Wine on Ubuntu Linux, and importing kindle books works fine*, HOWEVER, Calibre's import file listing does not show the file dates. this makes it hard to find the one(s) I want to import, since Amazon kindly uses gibberish for the file names.

Is this a bug, or a feature?

Any known way around it?

thanks in advance!

Fred
