In Library AND On Device column missing?

Paulie_D · 06-29-2012, 04:05 PM

Guys,

It's been a while since I user Calibre, at least 2 updates, and something has changed.

I'm sure in the previous 'Library' view there was a column for 'On Device' so I could see at a glance which books were both in my library AND on the device.

It looks like that column has disappeared...any idea how I get it back??
Thanks.

The On Device column will only show when your device is plugged in and calibre sees it. If you have your device plugged in and it still doesn't show, chances are that calibre isn't "seeing" your device as being connected. Usually (for me) this is because some other device is plugged into my computer like a phone at the same time (unplug it), or else try a different usb port, cable etc.

Doh!

Thanks for that K-Dude....that'll learn me to double check the connection in future.

What I do is to use Kiwidude's Readinglist plugin and auto-populate a new column with the status, so I can see at any time what is on the device.

It also proves very useful when I decide to factory-reset...
