After reviewing the code and the current workflow, I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding here. The plugin does NOT install calibre into the Downloads folder.

The plugin simply uses the Downloads folder as a temporary bridge to fetch the official .msi file. Once the download is complete, the plugin launches that installer. It is then the official calibre setup that handles the actual installation into your standard system directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Calibre2).

The file in the Downloads folder is just the 'installer package'. You can delete it immediately after the update is finished. Using the standard Downloads folder ensures that the plugin works 'out-of-the-box' without needing initial setup.

However, to satisfy all workflows, I will be adding a configuration window in the next update. This will allow users to choose a custom folder for the installer download. If no folder is configured, the plugin will simply fall back to the default Downloads folder.

Thanks for the feedback!
I know calibre is not installed in Downloads. But the installer is and that has to change as I cannot stand the Downloads directory.
