Bug Description
Windows 10 Home
Calibre version 3.14.0
I'm not sure what causes this, and not sure how to reproduce it. I've spent hours successfully using the "Edit Book" feature to modify an .EPUB, and then randomly, after closing the program and re-opening it at a later time, I'll get the error below when I try to perform "Edit Book" again. I've tried re-installing Calibre, creating a copy of the library and re-importing it--all of which result in the same error. This is now the 2nd time I've applied revisions to a 103k word novel and can't access the data.
calibre, version 3.14.0

That error indicates a corrupted EPUB file. The only way I know of for
that to happen is if you have some program that deletes temporary files
used by calibre while calibre is still running. Common culprits are temp
file cleaners, performance "boosters" and the like. If you cannot figure
out what is causing it, you can try setting the CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR
environment variable to point to some directory like c:\workaround which
hopefully will not be auto-cleaned.
