He can't see Preferences on the top right of the screen, like I think he should be able to, and nothing happens when he clicks Configure.
The books are in epub format, and we made sure that was selected.
What can we do? Thank you in advance!  |

Please don't [post the same request in multiple forums, see
Guideline #3. I have removed the other one.
I'm not a MacOS user, but...
Firstly, it's very strange that you can't see Preferences anywhere. But, try pressing Ctrl+P, then click the
Toolbars & menus icon, then click the
Restore defaults button (bottom left).
IIRC there are/were issues with DragDrop on MacOS, but I don't remember the details. So, use one of the
Add Books options, start with the first one -
Add books from a single directory.
