By Google search [site:
www.mobileread.com htmlz to html] I found what looks like the original announcement of the HTMLZ format: HTMLZ - Single HTML File Output by User_None (c) April 2011. I have exactly Mamaijee's question.
Based on Kovidgoyal's pointer to calibredb ADD function as solution to my import cover.jpg's question I was hoping to find similar functionality with: calibredb EXPORT that would allow me to control the name of the index.html within the HTMLZ archive. The closest I found is:
Code:
--template
The template to control the filename and directory structure of the saved files.
Default is “{author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}” which will save books into a per-author subdirectory with filenames containing title and author.
Available controls are: {publisher, series_index, isbn, pubdate, rating, series, author_sort, authors, last_modified, timestamp, title, id, tags}
which appears to allow me to control the naming structure of the folders/files that contain the index.html but not its name.
Ideally, I would be able to use windows search (or equivalent Flatten in Xplorer2) to find all .HTMLZ files within the the exported directory structure (or within the Calibre Library folder structure itself) and right-click drag to a target single folder and use 7-Zip's [Extract Here]. Currently, of course the names collide and the best I can do is use 7-zip's [Auto-rename] and wind up with index.html, index_1.html, ... ,index_nnn.html
