Just this. Simply.
I am still convinced that it is a useful function for all those who distribute epub documents managed with calibre.
I know very well that there are a thousand alternative ways to achieve this, but the simplest and most natural is to add a sub-option to Calibre's context menu, as anyone can understand for themselves. Calibre is a program to manage epub lists, and this is precisely a function related to the management of epubs.
If Kovid thinks this option is useless, I consider the topic closed. But I'm tired of reading surreal proposals of using two or three different programs in sequence (sometimes even rather poor ones, like sigil) just to delete a few lines from a text file, or to read certain idiots who claim to teach me ethics and honesty.

You don't need any other program. All you need is available in Calibre. I gave you the settings to use so if you do use the editor that it won't update the metadata.
