Really? You don't fix the title in the library, just edit the book and manually fix it in the OPF?

Yes, Jon, that is what it sounds like you are saying you are doing. And the idea of manually editing the OPF when you don't need to is, to me, stupid. The risk of making a mistake is to high to make it worthwhile. Calibre updates this perfectly well including making sure there are no illegal character.

What geek1011 is doing is very different, and to me over the top Scripting the changes or developing personal tools to do this does make sense, but I'm far to lazy not to take advantage of the large code base to make some things easy for me. I do a lot of what geek1011 does (clean the code and styles), but I have my own plugins to do some of the grunt work and am happy with the calibre editor for the rest. With a lot of saved searches. But manually maintaining the metadata in the OPF while using the editor, that's a complete waste of time.
