Very interesting read, thanks. Now I must go beat up some helpless little Windows computer since I am now

Is it truly necessary to save it in the library folder? I have never personally found a situation where I must browse it directly, except before I got the Open With plugin for editing with Sigil -- also obsolete with Edit Book.
Everything you need to do can probably be done with calibre directly.
Also, Kovid changed this for a good reason! It's probably not wise to mess with this, or you may end up being a fringe case! Also, deliberately keeping the previous
generation of calibre will lead to you missing lots of bug-fixes (like this) which may lead to yet more adverse effects.
