I avoid dialogue boxes almost as much as I avoid the mouse - maybe even more. One of the first things I did when I started with calibre was to find ways of dodging some of its dialogue boxes - such as Add books and Metadata edit.
So, what I had in mind was a variant of Action Chains (or a wrapper) that ran as File Type plugin - a'la the GetFileName and deDRM plugins.
Don't treat this as a request - it was just an early morning idea that popped into my head and jumped onto the keyboard.

Never thought about this. I have no experience with File Type plugins. I will have a look when I have some time to spare.

This problem was solved in version
1.5.0. You now can initiate conversions from Action Chains using "Calibre Actions". Note that you have to tick the option "wait until any job started by the selected action finishes"
