Setting preferred "Save to disc" format

HarryT · 08-04-2012, 06:24 AM

When I right click a book in my Calibre library, I see in the menu, "Save only MOBI format to disc". I'd like to change this so it says "Save only AZW3 format". I know that I've changed this setting in the past, but I've been right through the "Preferences" pages and I'm damned if I can see where it's set

. Could someone be kind enough to remind me, please?

Note: It's not the "Preferred output format" on the "Behaviour" page. That sets the default format for conversion, but not for saving.

Note: It is the "Preferred output format" on the "Behaviour" page. Change it to azw3 then restart calibre. I just did exactly that and mine now says "Save only AZW3 format."

Ah - thank you! What fooled me is that it affects the "Conversion" option immediately, but apparently affects the "Save to disc" option only after a restart

.

Thank you for the help!
