I (somehow) removed the Preferences icon from my main menu

PTrenholme · 02-19-2020, 01:39 PM

As the title says, I somehow managed to remove the preferences from the main menu. (I think, IIRC, I was rearranging the order, and my finger slipped off the mouse button while the icon was outside the menu, but I'm not sure about that -- it was several mounts ago.)

Does anyone have any idea how to restore it? (If not, I'll just "bite the bullet" and uninstall/reinstall Calibre. That shouldn't be a problem for the db,eh?)

Ctrl+P (the shortcut to Preferences): Look and feel: Toolbars <remember, there are many, but the most common ones are the ones MAIN Without and With device connected

I've always wondered about that myself, and I was always afraid of pulling the same stunt. 'Ctrl+P' huh... who woulda thunk it.

Tip: Move Preferences to far left of the toolbars and/or add it to the book list context menus.
