I'm not following. You're saying the OPF file of an unpacked book doesn't have all the Text files in its manifest?

I can guarantee that Sigil won't load any resources that aren't properly manifested in the OPF, but the question is, why would any text files exist that weren't manifested?

Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that the import of old-fashioned mobi files will be successful. Are we talking about an old mobi here or a KF8 Kindlebook? The former is always going to be a crap shoot when trying to import, but that latter should definitely not have data missing.

KindleImport is producing the exact same thing as KindleUnpack (it's actually mostly the same under the hood, in fact). But Sigil is particular about things. So like with the other book, starting with the unpacked epub is unlikely to produce a different result (when opened in Sigil) than using KindleImport will.

The real problem is that non-epub things can still be used to make Kindlebooks. So Unpacking them doesn't always create spec-compliant epubs. If you find yourself running into a lot of these problem books, you may find that unpacking them and importing the html/css files may be the way to go.
