Sending to device without changing metadata

Hello,

I would like to send ebooks to my device via Calibre without touching/changing the metadata of the ebook at all.

Since I am setting the metadata of my epubs in the OPF file manually, I do not want Calibre to overwrite the data. Neither do I want my custom metadata to be added to the OPF file in the epub.

I have found and succesfully changed settings that ensure this behavior for the editor, viewer and when saving to disk.
But a setting for when sending to a device does not seem to exist for this.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Turn off the metadata writing plugins in Preferences->Plugins for the formats of interest.
