For an even more perfect Calibre editor

Dear Kovid,

To edit my epub files, I use Calibre-editor most of the time, but also Sigil since Calibre-editor still has some gaps.
Here are some of the features I would like to see added to Calibre-editor.

1. General functions :
a) be able to move the current file elsewhere in the EPUB tree
b) see the size of all xhtml files at once (currently I need to position the mouse on each file to see its size)
c) see the size of all images without having to open each image in turn

2. Search functions :
- Stored-searches: have a tree (as in Sigil)

3. Editing functions :
Since recent versions of Calibre-editor one can already open an XHTML file with an external text editor that can offer powerful editing functions. That's very good. But the stylesheet is not opened at the same time by this external editor. And so, even if this text editor allows to preview the xhtml, it is not in line with what it should be since it has lost its styles.
This is why I would like more powerful text editing functions in Calibre-editor.

In another thread, I will detail these text editing functions.
I am sorry if some of these requests have already been made on this forum. I admit I couldn't read everything.
I am well aware that this request would cost an enormous amount of work. Calibre-editor is already wonderful. It didn't get done in a day, so having a few of those features in addition as time goes by would be really great.

Best regards
