"Library" and "Device" icons missing from Toolbar

fogice · 02-03-2025, 11:14 AM

Yesterday I rearranged some of the icons in "The main toolbar when a device is connected". Today, when I plugged in my device, I found that the icons for Library and Device have gone missing (they should be just to the right of Send To Device and Copy To Library). I'm 98% positive that I did not remove those icons yesterday.

I tried to add them back to my toolbar today. Those icons are not available in the list of Available Actions, and (of course) are not in the Current Actions either. Also, I tried resetting the toolbar via Restore Defaults, and that did not bring them back.

Anyone have any ideas on where to find these again?

Calibre 7.24.
MacOS Sequoia 15.3.

Are you sure the device is connected to calibre, just because it's plugged in doesn't mean calibre can see it.

Yes, because I can transfer books to the Kobo successfully. I just need to go to the menu to eject it.

With the device attached (and recognized). Calibre places another icon (set) Location Manager
This is under Preferences: toolbars and Menus: WHEN DEVICE IS CONNECTED

Thanks, you are correct, I never would have figured out that the Location Manager toolbar item creates two other icons with other names.

I learned this the hard way way back when I first started.

Know what something really does before you 'clean up' things you don't need

In my case, I did finally remember what I had changed and put it back.
OTOH You can move its position without fear of the toolbar police
