Original files
Is there a way to keep the metadata seperate in .opf files and not modify the original file as I noticed the checksums changes each time which is what I want to avoid for certain reasons.
Disabling "Update Metadata in saved copies" and also disable modification in the ebook viewer is also disabled. But when I for example give the book a series it modifies the original file even though I want it only to touch .opf, is there any way to do what I want? EDIT: Seems disabling store current bookmark in the viewer did the trick. Last edited by Elaxon; 02-11-2018 at 06:11 PM. |

I wound not enable it. It changes things on a save which is not always a good idea. I am not at home. But what the OP wants to do can be done. It works that way with my Calibre libraries.

So far what I have disabled to make sure it does not alter my books are under Miscellanous Options > Remember the current page when quitting and Keep a copy of bookmarks/current page inside the e-book file.
Also under edit book I disabled Integration with calibre > Update metadata embedded in the book when opening. I do not use save to disk so I have not touched that. Is there anything else I need to modify to make sure it does not alter my books? @JSWolf I be awaiting eagerly if there is something I forgot that needs to be disabled. |
