'bool' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 89, in run
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 593, in _upload_books

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'startswith'

What can I do about it ?

Already happened to me a few times in the past and each time there was a a new plugin to download to fix the problem.

I have a Mac High Sierra

-Kobo Glo and latest version of Calibre and plugins.
