Been ever thus.

The default location used by calibre is the user Documents folder, which is one of the Standard folders that Windows designates as being "Controlled". I've never kept anything I value in Windows so-called Standard folders.

I was trying to imagine what could make saving an EPUB file after editing it in Sigil significantly slower than saving the same EPUB file after editing it in the Calibre Editor on @abraum's system, but not on mine.

Since yesterday this crossed my mind:

I have the calibre Environment variable CALIBRE_CACHE_DIRECTORY set to C:\_AppData\Calibre\Cache and I can see that's where the Calibre Editor unpacks the EPUB its working on. I can't recall the calibre's default location for this, but I don't think it's C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp

I have set Sigil->Edit->Preferences->General Settings->Advanced->Set folder where temporary files should be created: to C:/_AppData/Sigil/Temp and I can see that's where Sigil unpacks the EPUB its working on. I'm guessing the default location is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp

So, I'm wondering if @abraum has some 3rd party always-on clean-up utility that maintains a watch and acts on changes to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp.
