Request cloning html file

jjk · 11-09-2020, 05:41 AM

Hello Kovid
Rather often I'd like to have the possibility to clone one or more html files, because some of my epubs are based on an html template.
Currently I have to proceed in 3 or 4 stages : 1) select the source file, 2) export them, 3) import them 4) optionnaly, finally rename target files.

Could you add to the editor the possibility to clone html files ?
TIA

Best regards

Thanks Kovid.
But when before doing ctrl-v I have to select new file content to replace it. And then, I get errors in lines

Code:

<link href="css/myCSS.css"
<img src="image/myImg.jpg"

Error message is : "That link goes to a file that is not present in the book " or so (translated from french).
So I have to correct them in

Code:

<link href="../OEBPS/css/myCSS.css"
<img src="../OEBPS/image/myImg.jpg"

Why do I get those errors ?

And,so, there are many handlings. But I understand that perhaps my request is too unusual to deserve much work from you.

Anyway, cheers for your work

Best regards

As for links, make sure your new html file is in the same sub-folder as the one you are cloning.
