Here is my answer (thanks, PeterT, for graciously providing a useful form letter )

The fact that YOU disagree with these decisions is your problem; not ours.

So sure, calibre could decide to do an implicit save-to-disk operation before launching an external application. Great.... I see it now. YOU will be complaining because you are now out of diskspace. Why? Because calibre won't know when you have decided to close down your external application.

PS: No point replying to me; I won't be reading any of your diatribes.





I now have another thread to add to my subscriptions folder where I save peoples' rants abut the FAQ. Yay for me.
I am really surprised none of these excitable individuals have written their own competitor program, after all these years of complaining...
