Thanks Toxaris!

I understand that now. During my testing of Calibre I did not know that you had to "save to disk" before any metadata changed by Calibre was updated to the epub file. And that you had to "reimport" the file into Calibre if you changed the metadata outside of calibre.

Once Doitsu and Diapdealer pointed that out I was able to get Calibre to see the metadata.

One other thing I found...If there are multiple instances of the meta tag in the opf file Calibre will only remember the Last one on the list. So when I used ePubMetadataEditor and then Sigil multiple times in testing the results were not always as expected in Calibre. Simple to fix - just manually check the opf...

Thanks again!
