Is there a setting to prevent the file from getting deleted? Thank you.
I just changed an Author Name via Tag Browser right click menu, and a book Title via F2 in Book List. The .original_epub files were preserved in both instances - along with an M3U playlist and an AVI video.

How did you change Author name and Book Title? The way I did them is not the only way.

This was on 64bit Win10 Pro 1903, and 64 bit calibre 4.4.
