Those two formats are not the same in my case.

I have set "Preferred output format" to AZW3, because I mostly buy EPUB's, but I have a Kindle, so I like the conversion dialog to open with AZW3 pre-selected. So far, so good.

However, I also manage a library an aunt, and she has an EPUB reader (because it has Dutch menu's, and the Kindle hasn't). I buy her books in EPUB format, import them into calibre to Alf them, fix the metadata, and so on. After the book is done, I do a "Save single format to disk," mail the book to my aunt, who puts in into her library. This library is Calibre, but with *EVERYTHING* disabled except for adding books to the library, sending them to the reader, and removing them from the device.

I would like to have an option "Save only EPUB to single directory", just like there is a "Save only AZW3 to single directory".

Would it be a lot of work to add a "Preferred Save to Disk" format, alongside the "Preferred Output Format" option?
