Describe the bug Copies music files to USB mounted device. USB mounted devices does not show up automatically in the device window, you have to select THE "ADD DEVICE" button menu and then the mounted folder. When remounted on a different session cantata does nor remember the device ans you have to go through the process again of adding the device again. ..Then . "copy to device" is greyed out and will not copy to device.

To Reproduce: Mount Device on computer, go to cantata, Device not in device window, re add device and try to copy a file to it ... the "copy to device" selection is greyed out.
