Hi Liz,
Inside the .mobi there are no file names at all. Each font, image, etc is just stored in section of the database (with no name info) and referred to from the processed html (i.e all links are converted to section numbers in the .mobi palm database).
So all "names" are created by us (either based on the title) or simply numbered with img0001.jpg, font0002.ttf, part0004.xhtml, etc. We have no way of knowing what the original name was, whether it was a chapter, or section or ....
That is the main reason we need to re-generate things. Even in the older mobis, the mobi markup html that was input to kindlegen was processed to remove links, store images in sections, etc, and so we must reverse that to get back to something that can be edited by users.
As for twitter - I am too old to deal with anything new ;-)
But I am sure Paul, or DiapDealer or any of the other contributors from this forum topic (mobi_unpacker is really the joint effort of a lot of people) would be happy to answer any questions.
Take care,
KevinH
