I agree, I just don't know the best way to address that need. Sometimes, I want to lock the extra format copy to protect against deletion. Sometimes I want to have two equal copies (a multicolumn pdf and a single column pdf). Sometimes, I want to keep several copies of the same format because I'm working on that format, but aren't yet sure my changes are good - so I want to keep the original. Sometimes I want different copies of the same format because one works best on my IPAQ and the other (same format, but internally revised) works better on my phone.
Each situation could have a slightly different effect on the way Calibre works now.
Currently, I deal with all those issues by keeping a "master" record and one or more "copy" records. My temporary copy records have "Copy" in the title. I know you know about the workarounds that are available, but others might not.
