That would require the user to know about this issue so he'd use this script. My post was prompted by the fact that the files are invisible in the GUI, only shown by an increase in filesize.

But as I mentioned above, it isn't just Irfanview; any program that creates backups, or anything else in the same folder, will result in these files being included in the epub. Many text editors used on the html also will do this, for instance.

However, it seems that closing, then reopening the epub, making any edit, then saving, will lose all the unmanifested files. So they are discarded as long as you do some normal edits within Sigil after the "open with" ones. Or even just prettify the files.
