OK.
Yes.
test: a.epub 237 KB
1) Use "Open with" calling an app that creates backups.
now 288 kB
2) save file -- the backups are in the archive, but not the manifest.
still 288 kB
3) exit
288 kB
4) re-open file -- backups are still there
288 kB
5) save -- backups are gone
211kB
When testing this I stopped first at step 2, then 4. You have to get to 5 before Sigil finally recreates the epub and cleans house.
So as long as such external edits are not the very final thing you do, the unmanifested backups will be discarded.
So I don't have to audit every epub I've edited for the last year. What a relief.
