Unhappy All html-files in misc folder, di I need to rebuild it from scratch?
Hi,

I bought an ebook, that is in a terrible mess.
- Footnotes are not linked and stand around in the middle of the text.
- No margins
- Terrible Layout

I wanted to work on the footnotes first, s they really bother me.
However all files are in a misc folder. Sigil doesn't want to do anything with them, except perhaps delete them, which is not helpful.

Do I have to rebuild from scratch, or is there a way, to move the files to the text directory including updating references?

Thank you for your help
Sven

Do the files in the misc folder have proper extensions on them? The only time I have experienced this was when the .html was missing or the "html" file actually had an extension of .txt on them.

Fix those in the source (and Index) and all will be well
Sigil treats anything not .(x)html as Misc

It would leave the files exactly as they are, without extensions, in the misc folder.

not if you convert epub to mobi, then back again. in calibre
that process put all files where they should be - much quicker than fixing manually.
