@Moonraker - I prefer to do any 'serious' editing away from the calibre library folders - by serious I mean anything that's more than a few minutes effort. So I copy the epub from its library folder to a work in progress (wip) folder.

In the wip folder I select Edit from the Windows shell context menu, for epubs Edit is associated with ebook-edit.exe. At the start of an editing session I do a Save a Copy with "<whatever>.nnn.epub" - where nnn is a counter. When I finally finish editing a book I do a regular Save.

So in my wip folder I end up with

title - author.000.epub
title - author.001.epub
title - author.002.epub
...
title - author.nnn.epub
title - author.epub

The last one is what I will eventually put back into the library when editing is complete.

BR
