both of those last 2 posts' points have been made before, so has my counter that yes, it's trivial to delete, but it's not so trivial to put humpty dumpty back together again; and it looks trivial from the outside to add a user choice on what file is used as source.

but for my previous perverse reasons , I don't want to delete orig epub.


in the sequence of
1. add original epub 2. convert -> epub ( looks ok ) 3. -> delete orig .
4 convert -> azw, or some other new format ( maybe weeks/ months after step 3 )

its arguable that only in the final step do you realize that you made something that looked ok at 2, but looks odd in that final conversion. so you want to go back to step 2 & start over., rather than be forced back to step 1.

Well that's my disallowed scenario. I can accept that to others it seems perverse, pointless, stupid, whatever. I can accept that its low priority, and probably will never happen..

What galls is being told that it's so stupid that I have to be protected from my own stupidity by not being allowed to do it. or that adding the option will somehow cause lots of others to follow me, lemming like, off the same cliff, and the programmers will then get the blame ???




but the dead horse is asking not to be flogged any more today

off topic, but one of my old bosses had a sign on his wall saying

" the floggings will continue until morale improves "

I think that is where we are at

morale is saying let's go read a book instead.
