Previously I set up which folder/directories should be scanned by Calibre. But now the "connect" job seems to be scanning everything. A 256 G card with 83 G byte free.

Unfortunately you can't stop that job (communicating with device), nor set up which folder/directories on which storage should be scanned until it has scanned.

Separate issue:
I also set separate default locations for epubs and pdfs, but when I "send to device" I have to explictly pick the SD card or else those are created on internal storage.

Setting default of SD Card / Card A in "Send to Device" changes that for all devices, which isn't going to work for most Kindles, most Kobos, my Sony PSR-350 or my P47L (none have extra cards).
