All conversions, polishing, etc. use the ORIGINAL_EPUB, and overwrite the EPUB. This is to avoid converting a conversion -- since conversions are lossy, it is better to reconvert the original. That way you can change your settings if the first conversion wasn't quite what you expected.
You probably converted the EPUB and left the ORIGINAL_EPUB there. Don't do that -- if the conversion is acceptable, delete the ORIGINAL_EPUB.
Now your editing work is most likely gone.  |
Ok, that makes more sense. So all my changes were in the epub, but when I polished, it pulled from the original_epub and undid all the changes? I don't remember ever directly converting from epub to epub, but the original_epub was there, so it must have happened at some point (editing process?)
Shouldn't the original_epub just be a backup? Like something calibre doesn't touch unless it's specifically asked for? Or is there a way I can make it so that once I make my edits and am satisfied and save them, it updates the original_epub?
Bah, more editing, I guess. Thanks though.
