*Hrmpf* Forget about my lame talking ... Today everything works as expected
W2E correctly fills out all the defined metadata fields -- if defined correctly.

However, understanding that one took me a while.
My ODT is saved as "Lorem Ipsum - Lady Mondegreen - 2011.odt"

If in the W2E extension I define "T - A - Y" the fields contain the expected texts: Title="Lorem Ipsum", Author="Lady Mondegreen" and Year="2011".
If I define just "T" everything's just left blank.
To get the file name completely into the title field I have to define the metadata prefs as "T - -".
(It was my imagination that with such a definition Title would only result in "Lorem Ipsum", cutting off Author and Year. Defining "T - A -" does exactly that: cutting off the year.)

And the second issue was a misunderstanding as well. I thought Writer2EPUB would store all metadata somewhere into the source ODT. So whenever I open it another time and click the W2E metadata button all information would be there again ... which isn't the case obviously

[EDIT]
Hm, the behaviour is still quite puzzling. Defining "T - - Y" now also leads to the complete file name resting in the title field...
