New test version attached that doesn't default back to the localized word for Anthology when 'Merge Word' is set empty.

Woah, that was fast! That's what I call customer service!
It's perfect now, many-many thanks!

Is there any way to make the plug-in run UnMerge on more than one merged book entry?

Also, is there a way to set a checkbox option on the pop-up dialog for Add/Overwrite/Discard at each option so that all entries do the same thing and you don't have to click for each inquiry given you may know what's going to happen?

[JimmXinu]

There wasn't before--I didn't think anyone used UnMerge enough to make it worth while.

Attached is a test version that has both.

Note that it may not work quite as you intuitively expect if you've UnMerging books that already have more than one existing book. IE, if you check 'Apply to all EPUBs' and then click 'Overwrite', and it hits a book that has more than one existing copy, it can't overwrite and will ask again offering only 'Add' and 'Discard'.

Why is UnMerge needed when we have epubsplit?

UnMerge restores everything that was in the original merged epubs perfectly (as far as I know). And doesn't require you to tell it where each merged epub begins and ends.

EpubSplit creates new copies of the meta files based on what you tell it and what it thinks they should be.

Thank you. I will try this. I had to read the caveat a few times to get them, but I understand.
The nice thing in my case is that I only wish to Add.

@JSWolf,

As a heavy user and a user of both, there is a big difference in what they do.
For example, if you like to create or store books are series as a bundle or omnibus, it is terrific. At the same time, I've also found I want to Unmerge them sometimes. I'm working on a big project right now such that the dev's addition of this ability across multiple entries simultaneously is so very welcome.

@Jimm...
Multi Unmerge is working great..Thanks!

Hi, when trying to merge two epubs in calibre, I am getting an error with the following dialog.
Please do let me know if you need more info as I realise this is pretty sparse - but maybe the problem is immediately obvious to you!
Cheers, Steve

OK To add to my previous posting!!! The problem was caused by one of the files having a contents_1 file which had been created by a previous run of epubmerge. Removing that file stopped the error.

The plugins with translations will use whatever is set in the calibre preferences. So, set calibre to Polish, and the plugin will use it as well.

Preferences caliber I have set as the Polish language and descriptions of the plug are still in English.
