Error converting to txt
Some files should be converted to txt and I get the following error

There is no TXT version in that book, convert it first then save to disk.

I believe STD expects the format to exist, unlike Send to Device, which converts on the fly IF an enabled format does not exist.

Convert first, then send and existing format.
If you note the configuration of STD, it does not have the list of formats possible nor the order (priority )

I have tried converting the book to txt and then saving to disk and it worked.
I was testing alternatives before seeing your answers, thank you very much !!

Your welcome
Figuring out the Logic of how some things work/behave is what gets to my curious spot (there must be some Cat in my family tree )
Send to device has known rules (settings are in the driver), while save to disk is just a simple file system operation (no driver).

I do a lot of 'Wow" when I see what Calibre does. Kovid has done some fantastic work. I know folk complain, but once you get so far down the development road, it is near next to impossible to make a change of direction because of a design decision waaaay back. Version Compatibility (DB) seems to be the Top of Kovids list

Calibre is the universe, there are many things that are not known but when the doubt arises, Father Kovid explains.
And there one discovers that the gear was already planned so that everything works.
And how many things will it be able to do that we have not even imagined yet.
I take off my hat !!!
