New program: EPub Metadata Editor

[BenChen]

Hi everyone,

I have incorporated another feature request. It is now much easier to open another EPUB file located in the same folder as the current file using a ComboBox located above the cover image.

Latest Update: The current version is 1.3.4
Recent Changes:

• The program now scans current directory for other EPUB files. Title bar shows the number of the current file and how many EPUBS are present. User can change file using the ComboBox located above the cover image.
• Properly handle XML special characters in relevant fields (Title, Calibre Series, Publisher and Subject).
• Handle non-standard OPF namespace tags.
• Bug fixes (like clearing new HTML description field between books).
• Minor code-cleaning and "procedurisation".

Sincerely,
Ben

I've been trying to use your program to edit images on some of my epub books, I'm running xp. Every time I try to close the work, after saving, I get an error.

The instruction at "0x04b1188c" referenced memory at "0x04b1188c". The memory could not be "read".

And asks that I click the button to close the app.

All I did on the last try was tell it to fix the cvg on the image I believe.

It helps the debugging process if you attach the problematic EPUB file. I would suggest starting an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/benchen71/epub-me...-editor/issues) and attach the EPUB there. (You might need to change the file extension from EPUB to JPG to get it to upload though.)

It has done it with every epub I have tried. Well 5 books. So it is probably something I did earlyer that is causing the problem. Most of my books have been converted on convert-com or with calibre. And I had mixed luck with calibre on the meta data images, so I was trying your program but it didn't work for me and I was hoping it was a known problem. I'll just move along and find another way.
