NOT TRIED but Save to Disc has options to STOP updating Metadata,file names... Have you played with those?

What happens if I select, say, twenty books and press ‘O’? (Is it going to open twenty different folders simultaneously?)
I did play about with the save options, but the difficulty is not knowing absolutely that some saved book sometime will not be altered.
I have brought some books into Calibre that were purchased. I want to keep them in their original form, as produced by the publisher. I don’t want Calibre to muck about with books that don’t need mucking about with unless I expressly choose to do that.
Perhaps Calibre is only trying to be helpful, but I don’t expect it by default to silently alter books without obtaining my permission to do so.
NB: I haven’t yet investigated this fully to determine what it is that Calibre is changing.
