Enhancement - Prompt on overwrite source
I managed to do an EPUB-EPUB conversion on a book when I meant to do EPUB-KEPUB. The result meant I lost some info not related directly to the display but which was useful to me in further editing. I don't think there was any way to recover the info as the source EPUB had been overwritten.

It occurred to me that it would be useful if Calibre issued a prompt and requested confirmation when a conversion was due to overwrite the source - EPUB - EPUB is my concern but I don't know if there are any other "conversions" that would benefit from such a confirmation.
