Hi. I am using calibre to proof-read and correct errors from ocr'ed epubs. My OCR engine outputs a complete epub (with a lot of errors) that needs correcting. I import this into calibre and starts editing.

The first thing I do when I start to edit is searching for ndashes and mdashes and replace them with – and — respectively. I do the same for quotes and other special glyphs. I do this in order to be able to see in the code view which glyph the ocr engine has given me, and easily be able to change the type of hypen or quote.

I have un-checked the option "replace HTML entities as they are typed" and the "Beautify individual files automatically when they are opened". And in general, calibre will leave my changes alone. But when I use the "Split file" tool, both parts of the file will be given an undesired beautification and I will have to search and replace again to get the complete code back. Is there a way to disable the beautification when splitting files? I want the beautification to be the last step of the process, and leave my manual changes be while I'm working.
