Hm, it's kind of hard to do since the file writing/updating for Calibre jobs seemingly works in a pretty complicated fashion -- workers get a target path that is supposed to be written to, but from that I don't think I can easily recreate the final path, so a custom backup path would have to be specified. However, even then, the file behind the outfilename that arrives in BaseStoryWriter.write_story() seems to be empty when the story is fully updated -- so one would have to change the code in all places where this method is called (3 places for the plugin).

Maybe Jimm can chime in with the best approach, I'm probably overlooking something obvious since I'm largely unfamiliar with the Calibre Plugin API.
