Multiple default conversion settings?

axu2 · 03-30-2025, 01:37 PM

Hi, I have two sets of conversion settings I like to use for epubs from two different sources.

Is there a way to easily switch between these two sets? Right now I just set the more common one as default and manually change to the other as needed.

Not aware of any easy… point and click… way.

I do it by having multiple calibre configuration folders and changing the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY Environment variable to 'activate' the one I want. That requires stopping and starting calibre.

Aha! there are conversion profiles you can set in the "Transform Styles" tab, that's what I wanted.
