I'm trying to create the following Calibre bahavior with plugin Action Chains:

After Calibre library is changed on any way (event "Library changed") I want to mark all books in the library (chain action "Selector Modifier", option "select all books in the current library view") and export EPUB format into single folder.

I have following problem with the whole action:

1. I trigger the event "Library changed" with adding or deleting a book to the library. But the action doesn't start after libray is changed. To start the action I'm forced to click the button in the plugin menu, which runs action,
2. Marking all books works, but then the action interrupts to force manual folder selection. After I've selected the folder manually, the action works until end correctly.

How can I avoid these two manual actions I currently forced to do?

1.1 What I'm doing wrong with the event "Library changed"? Why the action doesn't start after it?
2.1 How can I setup an export folder in the action setup, so the action "knows" it always and doesn't force me to select the folder?
