All my final file names (the epub, lit, mobi/prc, pdf, word, rtf, html and cover) - whatever I convert the file to and the source file - are the same with the only difference being the extension. My folder structure is: %bookstoragelocation%\authorlast, first\all their books

My file name structure is set to give me the author name again because I don't always folderize on devices: authorlast, first - seriesname ## - book title followed by each extension. (also makes it easy to zip up the collection of file formats for a single book for archival - without using more folder sublevels as well)

I guess what I'm getting at is that the new file name on split being based on the starter file name is no more "meaningful" (in my case) than naming each file in the series a basic number with no description at all as it was before with just "section" and a number. Now - IF I used multiple html source files - I could certainly see how it would be more useful, I could have each of the unique files separate and just one file for the book chapter content that I could then split. I just try to keep my own filesystem outside of epubs as simple and clean as possible too. I'd rather not have each book have its own folder with a series of html files for example - since I can get Sigil to split the single file where I want it split, why should I store more than one html file for the book otherwise?
Not directed at you.
I have no issue having a Long name for the Book CONTAINER (EPUB,ZIP). My question on 'Production Rules' of really long names for contind files. You and I seem to use a terse naming, wich is good enough to find (the typo in ch6 ) and reorder the pieces (how did the dedication get between ch19 and ch20 ?...).
