Interesting. My experience is that if I have the checkmark present for Update metadata in saved copies, my ePub files get the metadata updated when Saving to disk. Sending to device always gets the updated metada for my ePub files.
As I said, I can use the Polish tool for azw3, ePub and kepub books while Modify Epub works on epub/kepub books.
I tested on a single fb2 file and the basic metadata was updated. There seems to be no support for other metadata in the fb2 format. OTOH, my saved to disk copy grew by about 2MB since the new cover image was added and it was a 1125x1500 jpg compared to the original 450x600 image.
OTOH, using fb2 is about the same level as insisting on using mobi format.
The next bit is the first part of the fb2 file after the save to disk. I manually edited the metadata in calibre to make sure it was different from the metadata embedded during the conversion from ePub and the save to disk copy matched the edited metadata.
