(This is the first time the file/project/whatever it's called is being saved, if that matters.)

Okay, taking a hint from your reply, instead of clicking Save, I chose Save As.. in the File menu. The project saved just fine. Phew! Thanks Alan.

Note to developer: the Save As... dialog has no other options than ePub. So at this stage of development it should be grayed out and Save should just save instead of putting up that unhelpful error.

You can start with HTML but you can only save as EPUB.

That is why it squawks (fails). It is a waning to remind you that you are making a EPUB out of a HTML file
