@
cybmole - Maybe 'mis-imagining' would have been a better word, I mis-inherited 'mis-use' from an earlier post
As I read your issue - you want to the ORIGINAL_FMT file to be the format file with which you created the book.
When I started using calibre I too assumed that was the purpose of the ORIGINAL_FMT files. But when I found out it wasn't that -
and that they were copies that calibre creates in case something goes awry with conversion, modify, polish etc - which was something I didn't need, I shrugged and moved on as previously described.
As I already said
IMO, the confusion is with the name - would better if it had been LASTGOOD_xxxx. The non word LASTGOOD better expresses the purpose and unlike ORIGINAL it does not have a common usage meaning that's been established over the last several millennia.

Could you be more specific I can't find a anything with 'overwrite' in Tweaks.
