Is it possible to set up Calibre to, when books are found in the watch folder, automatically A. download metadata and covers, B. convert to the preferred format, and finally C. send the new books to the device (if it's connected of course).

Is this doable through the GUI, or will I need to write a batch file with command lines?
The only 'Auto to Device' available is News
The Watch folder (step 1) has no way of signaling your Batch file to do (start) for step 2,3 or 4
