Excluding pdf files from autoconvert

pluvial0 · 02-05-2023, 02:38 PM

I have several libraries, and for most autoconvert is very useful. But I have a library full of ttrpg books in pdf format that I don't want converted. I don't see a way to change autoconvert settings per library or exclude pdf files.

Am I missing something or is there really not a way to do this?

Unfortunately, no. See Bug #1972146.

Possible workaround:

And an empty book (Ctrl+Shift+E), then add the PDF to the empty book.
