Ah, OK. I interpreted that to mean "go back to the original settings that Calibre was installed with before you started messing around with them". Like the similarly-named buttons on Windows that, if you press them, you find IE as your default browser (with Bing the default search engine), Windows Media Player the default for all movie and music formats, and Notepad the default text editor. (Shudder.)

99.5% of the time, I just use the default (that has been refined over time).
The rest, I hand edit cause of the brain dead stuff publishers do.
Who Indents a Chapter title/number? It looks off (I sometimes do vary the margin for Right or Left justified, but never Indent centered)
Agreed. I do the same. But my gripe is that, if the book has ever been converted in the past, and I fix stuff that annoys me, I have to be very, very careful not to use antique settings from back when I first installed Calibre.

I really don't understand why "don't use my current settings, use something I changed months or years ago" should be the default behaviour.

And, as I said, it isn't even something I can change if I'm auto-converting.
