To clarify the vision behind this plugin: The main goal is to provide a 'one-click' update experience for the average user who doesn't want any complications. I want to keep the interface as clean as possible.

Regarding your specific points:

On the Download Location: I chose the standard Downloads folder to ensure the plugin works 'out-of-the-box' on any PC without requiring any initial configuration or path setup from the user.

On the Filename and Rollbacks: I think your point about keeping previous versions is valid for some users. However, anyone needing an older version can always find the complete archive of all previous installers here: https://download.calibre-ebook.com/.

Future Improvement: To balance simplicity and your suggestion, I will look into adding the version number to the filename (e.g., calibre-9.5.0-x64.msi) in a future update. This solves the 'rollback' issue without adding complex settings menus.

Thanks for helping me polish this tool!"
But it would be better if we could choose our own location. Downloads is a directory I don't want to use. I delete everything in there.
