Library icon on top menu

mitch13 · 01-02-2024, 04:48 AM

I have searched for a while but cannot find what I want. I have multiple libraries in my Calibre Library eg Magazines, History, Reference, etc. I recently had to rebuild my libraries after my laptop had a fit and mysteriously deleted 3 of my "sub-libraries". I am now back to normal after much work.
I am sure in the past when I changed to a "sub-library" its title would appear in the main Library icon on the top menu. It now, no matter which library I am in, just says "Library". This information does show above the main menu at the top left but it was a nice 'finish' when it appeared in the main top menu. Am I dreaming that I had this or is it available as an option somewhere?

You presumably have a device connected, only when a device is connected does it show "Library" instead of the name of the library.

Many thanks for that. I run so much without my Kindle attached but just recently in recovering details in my library, it has been permanently connected. Much appreciated.
