Drag & Drop Merging
Sometimes when I import multiple formats of a book into my library, Calibre won't recognize one of them due to metadata (generally the PDFs). However, in the past I was able to just drag the unrecognized one to the recognized one and Calibre would merge them without issue. Currently, I get a little denied symbol (circle with line through it) on my cursor when I attempt to do what used to work just fine.
This is on 6.17 running in Ubuntu 23.04. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? |

See ==>> Preferences->Look and feel->Main interface->Allow using drag and drop to merge books.
The default setting is checked, you must have inadvertently unchecked it. BR |

I can still highlight both and hit `m`, but I miss the drag/drop functionality. Seems like a bug to me? |

Working for me again, as well. Looks like a recent update fixed it?
