epub - set authors from cmd line not correct

dapjukebox · 07-27-2009, 04:10 PM

Firstly can i congratulate all those involved in Calibre - it is simply the best software i have found for the creation and management of e-books.

Now the problem - if i add an html book using the gui, set the title and author and then convert to epub the resulting file shows the title and author correctly in both ADE and the built in viewer.
If i try to convert the same html file from the cmd line ADE shows the author as "unknown", the built in viewer shows "unknown & author".

A cut down version of the cmd is:
C:\Program Files\calibre>ebook-convert "path to inputfile" "path to outputfile" --title="Test Title" --authors="Test Author" --output-profile=sony

Am i doing something stupid or is there a strange bug here somewhere?
This is with version 0.6 and 0.61

Thanks in advance

It's a bug that will be fixed in 0.6.2
