Starson17,
Thank you for your explanation. I agree with you that the conversion process is more logical and consistent now.
But , as Pinecone already stated, why not have Calibre ask you which file to use as a source. I think that would be a nice feature because it is not unusual to also use other software for the editing of, in my case, ePUBS. I even use a great calibre plugin that makes the use of external software easier. So the chance this disaster happens again is not that small, if the feature is enabled.
I personally use Sigil all the time to clean up ePUBS that I have converted with Calibre. So, all the time the target files get edited outside of Calibre.
Because of that it would be nice if the existing target files get some extra protection.
Asking what file to use as a source would give that extra protection.
In most cases, I would want to use the target file as a source and not the original source.
