I knew that but all to well

I did not even knew this was possible on this view! Thanks! But I have here to answer a question whether I really want to drop, which I do not have to do with MDE. I suppose it is a matter of work preference.

I did encountered a new finding though: 7zip compressed files are now immediately uncompressed, which is not what I want. I guess that this is due to the last change in which 7zip files are now recognized by calibre. Good to know this behavior.

We are always responsible for our own actions, although Kovid & Co tries to make calibre as robust as possible for blundering fools like myself

PS: I have to correct my remark about the uncompressing of 7zip files. I did use a 7-zipped PDF file, which calibre did unzipped into the PDF again. But 7-zipped text files remained zipped, which they should. Something to know.

PSPS: dropping a PNG-file on the BDP converted into cover.jpg, which is interesting. Ah well, learning all the time...
