You Searched for manager.
Now try ebook converter oh look, calibre is everywhere.
As for what a manager is and does, never crossed my mind. I import, convert, export. Done.

I never said it was. What I
did say was that it is the highest rated ebook and document converter.

I don’t understand why you so aggressively defensive. I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinion on how they chose to use the software I’m stating a simple fact, millions use the program as a converter. Alone.
If you’re ok with software leaving garbage on your system that’s your choice. But there is a reason hundreds of millions of people use programs like Ccleaner and CleanMyMac. The majority, by a wide margin, frown upon random crap being left on the system.
I’m not even the one who created this thread. Or the many thousands of posts elsewhere on the web.
The method has its downsides. Just because you don’t notice them for your use doesn’t mean there is no negative consequences for others.
Again, the call here was an option to disable a function that is disruptive to many who have no use for it.
I don’t have a nas system in place but I do use an LTO library. And can easily understand the concerns of the OP.
In the world of ultraportable devices and cloud storage and 64GB drives on chrome platforms, not everyone wants junk left when they thought, and intended, to delete it.
Just because calibre is on a 1Tb drive on my Mac does mean I like the idea of garbage being left on my system after taking the steps to use a delete function.
And on a removable drive: such a change can be very problematic. Take BSD and my Mac. The file management creates an index. That index is recording file actions. Here’s one problem with the new function. Deleting the files from within the program and then clearing the trash bin does not delete the index. Previously delete the files from within the program removed the folders, and thus the index as well.
Now, emptying the trash leaves behind the trash folder including the index database for that folder. There is the potential for an index clash, or a backup issue. Especially on sparse backups.
What is it about a disable toggle in advanced settings that is so problematic for you?
