Is it possible to only autoconvert specific formats

kaufman · 08-28-2014, 09:34 AM

I have been using Calibre to manage my ebooks for a while, but now I am moving my PDFs and CBRs in to.

I currently have autoconvert set to automatically convert everything to an ePub on import. I don't want to do this for PDFs or CBRs. Is there any way to have autoconvert on import only apply to certain file formats? Or, conversely, is there some way to get it to ignore certain file formats?

Thanks.

@kaufman - maybe you could add books to be auto converted using the the auto add facility, see Preferences->Add->Automatic Adding tab. It has a separate check box for auto convert. And add the PDF's and CBR's manually with the auto convert off. Or vice versa - auto add the PDF/CBR's with no auto convert and manually add the rest with auto convert

Or maybe you can get the Quick Preferences PI enhanced to include Auto Convert as a setting - see [GUI Plugin] Quick Preferences
