In that scenario, how would you recover the metadata from the opf file and sync it with each book?

Are there any other tools that save the info right to the book as is? Is all metadata saved (including custom fields you might have created in calibre)?

Any insight on this particular? Does the add book from directories do this or does that just look for ebooks and ignore opf files in the folder?
