I want to find the original file on disc that I imported to Calibre. Does Calibre store this anywhere, or do I have do detective work based on the import date (which is on Calibre), however the file might not have been imported the same day as copied, created or downloaded to disc. All three options have been used. Also the file might not have a name containing the actual title shown in Calibre. How also do I know which of RTF, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, LRF, EPUB was the import?

Actually usually the created locally files are imported as DOCX, so almost all DOCX are originals and usually I know where they live. Probably more 50 books / documents. I might be a bit hazy about DOCX file locations that were created by import of RTF, DOC, HTML or copied & pasted direct from web sites (perhaps a reformatted composite of many sites on a topic).
