Personally, I treat my calibre libraries as black boxes since I've read too many messages from people who have mucked around with their calibre libraries with operating system and/or third party file tools and are now pleading for help with issues. Or the person a while back who was complaining about not being able to save a file from Sigil when they also had it open in e-book viewer so they could see what changes they needed to make. I really don't need to add PEBKAC errors to the problems I already deal with.
