It is very welcome also that in 7.1 I now can scroll with my touchscreen, with 6.29 that was not possible.

However the way I now have to start Calibre with the terminal command above has another drawback: I now have to add books by navigating to their folder from within Calibre. Before I could add books from the ChromeOS filebrowser's context menu. These issues are really only inconveniences, but if there is a fix, I would like to know. I suspect that the answer might be in the launcher commands. I have tried to substitute the new terminal command into it, but that did not work. Calibre's ChromeOS Linux launcher is in usr/share/applications

Here is what it looks like, and thanks some more if you have any suggestions:
