Anyway, thank you for the answer!
(If a Calibre developer sees this, then I would suggest rewording that label there.) |
The label is correct - it is the preferred order of formats used as input to conversions, the fact that it also influences the behaviour of View is almost coincidental.
After doing a conversion what I want to do is look the result i.e the output, not at the input. For me putting the Preferred Output format at the top of a list of Preferred Input formats to make that happen doesn't make sense.
Maybe it makes sense if most books have specific conversion settings, but I suspect most users have a set of default preferences that they use on most conversions. Or it might make sense if one did a lot of EPUB to EPUB conversions - but I would have thought the availability of Modify/Polish/Tweak and Edit has rendered those sort of conversions largely redundant.
What's needed is an optional Preferred Viewer Format that if set trumps whatever is in the Preferred Input Order list - assuming the format is available, .

theducks I know you believe I should understand what you think you wrote, but I am not sure that you realize that what you write is sometimes not what you think, nor perhaps that I'm not a mind reader. Besides you quite often you write the right things, and my planning assumption is that you may see wood, where all I see is bushes
