bug or feature? saving conversion settings

BeccaPrice · 06-14-2012, 07:54 AM

I just noticed that my conversion settings under look and feel revert back to default settings for each individual book.

For example, I want the base font to be 12 point. I can set it for one book, but that setting reverts back to 0 points for the next book. Is there a way to keep that setting? or is that undesirable for some reason that escapes me?

Preferences->Conversion->Common Options

You set your default options with "Preferences". For the values you want, it's "Preferences -> Conversion -> Common Options". These become the conversion defaults when you convert a particular book, but Calibre remembers the specific values you've set for that book.

ah, of course - how silly of me not to have looked there. I'm too tired today, that's what it is. Thank you both.
