The existing dialog telling you "after the event" that it "merged something" without even telling you which format it threw away is as you say not very useful.
I'm confused, what do you mean by which format it threw away? It will always retain the format already in calibre when automatically merging. I guess I'm confused because, with a few exceptions, I only keep ePubs in my library and don't see this often. When I do see it I know that it left the version in the library alone and dropped any book I was trying to add.
