It isn't that Irfanview is doing anything exceptional, it's because Sigil hands over its folder to another program and then zips it up again without checking if the contents still match the manifest. It's quite possible other programs could create their own backups or scratch files in the folder that get rolled into the epub

That seems like the correct thing to do rather than possibly putting large unmanifested files in the archive. An accidental steganography.

I'm not saying this for my own convenience; I can check and clean it up myself now that I know it can happen.

I already mentioned that option in my second post.
