One could argue (but I'm not) that it should, would have thought the chances of doing irrecoverable harm with an epub editor exceeds that of a like to like conversion or polish (yes I know the editor has save as, checkpoint etc).

cybmole - I think you have to accept that the ORIGINAL_XXXX file regime is not going to be re-purposed or multi-purposed to do as you wish it do.
I know someone who had a similar wish, she does the following - copy the ORIGINAL_EPUB file to the desktop (by opening the book folder and dragging it there), rename it to SAVE_EPUB, drop that into calibre book list, and then delete the ORIGINAL_EPUB. I'm not sure, but I think she may have to Merge the book that gets created with the SAVE_EPUB into the book with the ORIGINAL_EPUB before she deletes the latter - that could be avoided if non book formats could be dropped onto the Book Details panel.
