I'm running Sigil 0.9.17 and have a problem with the metadata of Epub 3.0-books.

If I open the Metadata-editor, I only see the "Dublin Core"-elements, while at least 1 book had a content.opf with an entry that definitely lookes like a non-DC element: "Sigil Version" (value "0.9.16"). Yet it doesn't show up in the editor. Why?

If I try to add an element: Add Metadata > Custom element, it seems to go Ok. A "Custom Element" appears in the list of metadata-elements, and I can fill in the values. I then exit with an "Ok".

But when I then re-enter the Metadata editor, this custom element has disappeared! It's not in the content.opf either.

So...what gives? Is it a bug or a feature?
