I find that when I convert an epub, 2 files are generated ("epub" and "original_epub") which I understand is the expected normal behaviour of calibre in trying to retain the original epub.
Unfortunately, I always run into the problem where if I use the editor window or remove book command and delete the newly converted epub because I want to go back and try different settings with the original epub, I always get an error trying to convert the "original_epub" file where calibre spits out the "could not convert x or x books because no supported source formats were found".
Given removal of the epub and leaving the "original_epub" behind to be used should be an expected behaviour of some calibre users. I can see how calibre needs to have a way of separating the original and any converted epubs in the database and does so by renaming files, but there needs to be some workflow allowing us to "roll back" to the original epub in our databases.
Maybe I'm missing an obvious step to doing this, but I couldn't see a way to do this in the manual or when I search the forums. Thanks for any help.
