Copying files to device, do not change metadata
When sending epub books to my device (Cybook Orizon), with no plugboard defined, calibre not only copies the files, but also modifies the metadata (of the file in the device, not the one in the calibre library).

For different reasons, I have some books where I have slightly changed the metadata in calibre, but do not wish to alter the book files. Is it possible to have calibre just copy the files, without modification, when using "send to device"? This would also be faster when sending many books, I guess.
