I am not sure we must ask Sigil to do everything, and anyway what do we do before it is implemented?

I wrote an AHK_L script that does automatically the following (among other things) :

1. Unzip an epub
2. Create an uuid (AHK_L program)
3. Change the uuid in OPF
4. Update the NCX with new uuid
5. zip the epub

The reason I do that is because I use the new epub file to create a mobi with Kindlegen. I do want to have a different uuid for epub and mobi.

Conclusion: I suggest people here to google ahk_L. You can do amazing things with it, even if you are not a SW developer (my case). It is so easy to take the control of your design flow.

Systemize the routine, humanize the exception.
