There are preference orders for conversions.
If a conversion has been previously done, bulk uses those settings (implies it uses the original source)
Original_<format> only gets made on the first conversion of the SAME format Mobi-> Mobi, EPUB ->EPUB, from then on Same conversions use Original_xxx to make the new xx If the Tweak "save_original_format = True"
