Convert from HTML (zip) no longer working

alhscw · 08-03-2010, 09:52 AM

I just cleaned up some content in HTML, re-zipped the file, replacing the existing one in my library, and now when I click "convert" using 0.7.12 I get the following error:

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ValueError</b>:No plugin to handle input format: zip

Traceback (most recent call last):

Nothing has changed in the handling of zip files in calibre, ina along time. That error means no suitable ebook files were found inside the zip file to convert, probably because you have the html doube zipped.

Thanks Kovid. Actually, I forgot to exclude the old zip when creating the new one and that's what was fowling things up. Now I know what to look for in the future if I see this message.

Great product btw and it keeps getting better. I believe I'm due for sending a little $$$ encouragement your way...
