Yes, I know.
So if I change my global settings (e.g. to disable font scaling, once I realise that my fonts are being mangled and in some cases look annoyingly wrong), and then re-convert a book I converted earlier, the default is that it uses the same settings as the last time I converted that book. In other words, it uses the OLD global settings and scales the fonts again, not the NEW ones that I just changed to prevent font rescaling.
I have to remember that I converted the book earlier (and that I did it BEFORE I updated my global settings), and I also have to deselect the option to use the OLD settings (which I have NEVER wanted to do).
Or else I have to do this with EVERY book I convert -- unless, of course, I upload a book to the Kindle without manually converting it first, in which case it gets auto-converted using who-knows-which settings from maybe three years ago. And there is no way to make Calibre remember my choice: that I want the new settings, not the old ones.
Or, whenever I change a global setting, I reconvert my entire library -- which takes about three days non-stop -- just to make sure that all books have the same saved settings.
I'm sorry, but this behaviour makes no sense to me at all.
