Hello everybody, hello @kovidgoyal and Happy New Year.

I have a request regarding the Calibre Editor: would it be possible to allow it to open ".original_epub" files ? (and same for original_azw3 files).

I regularly want to open my Calibre book backup files, e.g. in order to check if I did something wrong when editing.
Unfortunately the editor won't allow it -- I presume it just looks at the extension -- so every time I have to rename the backup book's extension first, e.g. from ".original_epub" to "original.epub". After which the Calibre Editor will open it fine.
Would it please be possible to just allow the Editor to open the file directly, without renaming ? Thanks.
