I gave up on autoadd because I had too many cases where I needed to adjust Preferences.

I would copy the mobi to the clipboard, add the epub from Finder as you do now, then and use calibre Add Books->Add files to selected book records from clipboard to paste the mobi into the just created book record -- the Alt+Shift+V in my prior screenshot is a custom shortcut.

If you had an epub, and a mobi and a txt, you could then copy the mobi and the txt to the clipboard, add the epub to create the book, paste the clipboard items into the just created book record.
