I have a few epubs that were made very sloppily. They're readable, but too much metadata to do one by one.

I've spent a lot of time playing around to see what exact file in the epub is the issue (it's structured really weird). Sigil detects the metadata, but Calibre doesn't. Saving from Sigil doesn't change anything. What's that about?

(Also, replacing <metadata> in the faulty epub's .opf with the <metadata> from a functional epub makes it readable to Calibre. Couldn't find a fix short of manually adjusting it, but it's worth mentioning. Just asking about the Sigil-Calibre detection differences though.)
