I was only saying I thought there could be a difference between the metadata in the folder's OPF file and the OPF file in the epub based on what I read in the help file for the Modify ePub plug in:

The Modify PI, and Polish, Embed Metadata, Conversion etc, take the metadata they write to output file (ePub or otherwise) from the database (metadata.db) not from the metadata.opf files in the book folders. The latter may not even be up to date if you just did a bulk update, and that includes correcting a misspelt Author or Publisher name or a Tag value.
Rewrites of the metadata.opf files occur in the background, depending on the number of books affected by a given change that can take a long time - as in hours.

eschwartz - I had a suspicion that one or more of the Add books options might use it, but I wasn't sure under what circumstances - I add all books via a shell Send To->Autoadd.
