Hi,

FWIW, Calibre will change and add metadata to the .opf when you open the ebook in editor (or maybe its upon import to the library??) for example, calibre-file-as, and the like. This is minor and easy to fix but it does change things, that I would rather be left unchanged.

Edit: I take that back ... I just tried editing the book using calibre's command line "edit-ebook" without loading it into the library, and calibre did not add or change anything, that I could see. So perhaps when I added it to the calibre library at some point the metadata got touched. Using the command-line tool seems to be a good way to run ebook-edit.

I had not played with the Calibre editor much in a while and it has really improved. Kovid really did a nice job with it.
