Hi!
I want to have a strict "one book = one format" policy in my library. I deal with a lot of versions and editions of the same book and run into Calibre merging things I didn't want merged somewhat frequently.
1) Identical filenames in the same directory.
I constructed this situation to infer exactly what was happening.
Identical filenames with different extensions found in the same directory during an "Add from folders" automatically merge. No matter which option I select re: same folder = same book.
Can this be prevented? I imagine this functions well for most people but it's pushing me into weird fiddly corners and creating friction where I really want to just set and forget.
2) Duplicates found on import.

Can I stop this from showing up? It's never relevant to me.
I'm a bit confused on what actually happens and if this can lead to a marge. It'll also oft
Am I safe to think if I just press 'OK' that it'll never attempt to merge anything?
3) Same folder = same book prompt.
Is there any way to make either option for this prompt automatic? I'll never click 'Yes' intentionally.
-----------------------------------------------
Using auto add seems like it would cut the majority of this out but my file system has metadata at the folder level that I was intending on using 'Get Filenames' to capture then S&R into appropriate fields. Many, many hours of work wasted.
I can think of ways to solve this before I start adding anything but I'm not very confident in my scripting skills and the extra cognitive load and margin for error I'm adding in on a huge task feel bad.
