Where are custom recipes?

AustinTim · 02-07-2011, 06:53 PM

I've spent a while searching but couldn't find a definitive answer either way, so a new post it is...

Are my custom recipes saved somewhere (win7) as .recipe files?

Why;
I've modified several of the built-in recipes and would like to use the command line to send them to other email addresses (other kindles) automatically.

I've found a .bat file I can schedule to run every day to email the file generated by the ebook-convert command but I would like to have only one version of the .recipe file not one in custom and one that gets emailed.

hope someone can help.

your recipes are stored in the database. You can get them out by using the custom recipes dialog, switch to advanced mode and copy paste the recipe into a .recipe file
