Thanks again for your help.

I am trying to improve my workflow in Calibre.

* I have epub2 files that I like to convert to epub3 and also to embed metadata. Do I first use convert from toolbar and then the poilish books plugin (update metadata in the book files)

* Do I need the opf file if I embed the metadata? If not necessarily, how can I stop Calibre from creating it?

* Do I need to keep the "original_epub" file? Do I need to keep multiple formats per ebook? Can I set up Calibre to delete pdf or epub2 after converting?

Thanks again for the helpful on this forum. Really great!
