Send/Receive to USB is grayed out, despite having an SD card mounted in an internal “SD card reader.” I know this worked in Win7, but since moving to Linux it doesn’t. Using PT 9.0.100.10199 for Linux. Help appreciated!

Best answer

Locating UBS devices works differently on Linux compared to windows. It’s likely that when Paratext queries the system for USB devices, it doesn’t regard the sd card as a USB device.

Insead of S/Ring to the SD card via the USB drive option, you can use the Network shared folder option instead.
Click “Browse…” and navigate to the S/R folder on your SD card. (it’s possibly mounted under /media)

Thanks. That worked. Might be worth adding a line to the Help files with that info?
