  1. Output Format
  2. Update Mode
  3. Update Calibre Metadata
  4. Update EPUB Cover
  5. Background Metadata (updates only)

Most are self explanatory. 'Update Calibre Metadata' if unchecked, prevents FFF from updating any Calibre metadata--except for the explicit 'Update Calibre Metadata' modes which do anyway.

Which are these settings are actually useful today on every download/update?

Personally, the only one I ever change is Update Mode.

For example, does anyone run with 'Update Calibre Metadata' unchecked? Or change output format on individual downloads?
I don't think I touched any but Update Mode since years ago when I first started using the plugin and was looking around to see how things worked.

I guess the closest I got would be there have been a few times cover of stories have been changed and wondered how to keep both old and new, so I would presumably have to go through the various cover settings for that but I never bothered.
