- Editor Settings: Uncheck Beautify individual files automatically when they are opened
- Integration with calibre: Uncheck Update metadata embedded in the book when opening
With these two options deselected, this will prevent any changes made to the ePub when it is loaded into the editor. (IMHO), these two options should be off by default. |
I'm sure that the OP and others who come later will appreciate that, Jon. I still pretty much just use Calibre as an archival method--shocking, I know, to use it for the purpose for which it was originally intended, but there you go, I'm boring--so I don't know all those editing tricks. :-)
So, thanks for that!
