I've got a single HTML file that contains the book and its CSS. I can zip that up with some images that the styles use, import that .zip into Calibre, and then convert it to any other formats just fine. But if I make an edit and want to convert the book again, I have to zip up the edited file and replace the zip in the Calibre library. Doing that over and over is a pain.

Is there any way to simply add a folder containing an HTML file to Calibre so that you can edit the HTML easily? I've tried dropping an HTML file into the app, but it just gets converted to a .zip. Seems like it should be a simple feature to enable.
