You can configure Calibre to not update the metadata when you do actions such as save-to-disk. I don't want Calibre doing to the updating. If I want it done, I'll do it by hand in the editor (and I have the editor configured to not update the metadata when loading the ePub).

IMHO, the default should be to not update the metadata like is done now and let the user turn that on if wanted.
