Match Book to Library, Linux

Lizj1 · 02-19-2016, 06:08 AM

I have Calibre 2.51 running under Linux (zorin 10, which is based on Ubuntu 15.04).

When I connect my Kindle Fire HDX, it correctly sees the books on my kindle.
I switch to the Device view, then right click on a book that is NOT flagged as "In Library", then click on Match book to library.

My problem is that when I click on Search, there is no visual clue as to whether the search is running or not. If I wait, it may find posible matches, or it may not. I just don't know if the search is still running, or if it didn't find anything.

Is this problem caused by the theme I am using (Clearlooks Phenix) or do other linux users have the same problem?

Any pointers gratefuly received!

So it turns out that Calibre behaves the same way in Win7 - No visual clue as to whether the search is still running, or if it finished without finding a match.

Wow, thanks!
So I guess I have some reading to do to find out what to do with this... and maybe it will be inlcuded in the next release?

Thanks again - Calibre is amazing.

If you build from source you will get the change

The change will be included in next release - I would guess coming Friday
