I have searched the Calibre User manual and can find nothing that addresses "save as" option. I am using Calibre 2.12. Is there a newer version? |

Before you do anything, use the Save A Copy As option to save a backup. |

Sorry, I'm just dense. Does it matter if we call it a folder or a directory? It still contains the files I've been saving as various iterations of the book. And whatever it's called, it doesn't offer a "save as" option. I'll just continue using the Save a Copy option and closing the current file and opening the copy to do the work. I really do appreciate your effort to help me.

But a few, eg Sigil and Notepad++, have Save, Save As and Save Copy In those two editors the difference between Save As and Save Copy, is that after a Save As the file saved becomes the current file, whereas with a Save Copy the current file does not change. After a calibre book editor Save Copy the current file does not change. Obviously, Save saves the current file BR Last edited by BetterRed; 12-17-2014 at 10:45 PM.

The point I was trying to make before
The typical Save as allows a format change (eg jpg->BMP) Save a Copy only allow the same (current) format |

It's been a directory from the day directories were invented.. Just because the icon used in Windows looks like a folder doesn't make it any less of a directory. Now to contribute to the topic of the thread. The solution to the problem is to copy the eBook and then edit it. Then just save. You'll have a backup in case you need it.

Currently the OP was already doing precisely that. Upon my suggestion in post #20, doing it the other way around may prove to be a timesaver. |

Some good examples... Calibre stores each eBook in a separate directory. Collections on your Reader are folders |
