Library for "Newly added..." section

[PiperKev]

This is probably a stupid question, but how does calibre choose which library to display in "Newly added..." section of the homepage? I currently have 5 libraries:

Books
Comics
Linux Magazines
Magazines
Standard Ebooks

The library calibre ALWAYS displays in the "newly added..." section is books from Standard Ebooks, even though I more recently added books to my "Books" library. Just wondering if there's a way to change the library, or if "Standard Ebooks" is the default for my server.

Calibre only looks at the CURRENT Library.

Do you really need 5 Libraries? Do they all have a different structure or settings?

You have 2 Magazine type. Could that be 1 and you have a VL's set for Linux and (Not Linux) others
Same for Books and Standard Books. What makes those Libraries (structurally) Different?
Different behaviors (Plugin settings, columns and (age)SECURITY ) are reasons FOR separate Libraries.

I don't necessarily NEED 5 libraries, I want them for organizing purposes.

I'm not sure what you mean by CURRENT library. It doesn't matter which library I currently have selected in calibre. I've added quite a few books today to my "Books" library, and the server homepage "Recently added..." section STILL only shows recently added books in my Standard Ebooks library. That doesn't change, even if I change to a different library, restart the content server and reload the server homepage in my browser.

You have no other Library selected. (it appears to be looking at the Library 'Calibre' (Recent is probably from the servers last used History)
Using a 'User Account' limits what each login can use.

And here is my Windows shortcut (I have no idea where I came up with that setting. It was a long time ago )

192.168.254.30:8083/#library_id=MainLib&panel=book_list

MainLib is the Library
Panel seems to be the view wanted

I know I can bookmark individual libraries, I was just wondering why the "Newly added" panel on my main calibre homepage only shows book covers from the Standard Ebooks library. It's not a problem, I'm just curious and wondering if there's an option to truly show the most recently added books, regardless of which library I added them to.
