It's smarter to reenable it and just delete the ORIGINAL_EPUB when your conversion is better than the original. By disabling that option, you overwrite your EPUB every time. If you make a mistake in the conversion, you will wipe out the original with your bad converted copy. |
If we were friends talking face to face I might word this with more of an edge, but "It's smarter" isn't exactly a great choice of words. There are many ways of doing things, FrozenInferno's method may be different to yours but without more information, to say your way is smarter is ...
I'll use myself as an example. The first thing I did was disable this tweak. But I keep my library in Dropbox so if I end up with a bad result a couple of clicks and the previous version is restored. Doing it this way I never accidentally overwrite a Sigil edited epub.
Just something to think about.
