I was editing lots of books, and each time I did, I would simply replace the old version. I found it very useful. Kovid took it out before adding this code to Calibre. He revised it so that it never overwrites an existing format, it only adds formats that currently don't exist for the record..
Unless you recently broke it, you can drag an updated version into the Formats section of the metadata editor. No other confirmations done. It simply updated that format with the one dropped.

Deleting a format (even ALL Formats) from within the Metadata browser, causes No loss of tags, .

Calibre has Awesome flexibility.
