Greetings.

I was trying to find a way to bulk-identify ePubs that have problems with the TOC but was not successful finding existing problems using the Quality Check options.

To illustrate, the link below is to a partial ePub that contains TOC links that do not work, but the Quality Check plugin did not identify the ePub as a problem. The Quality Check option I had tried was "Check ePub Structure: Check NCX TOC with broken links".

http://www78.zippyshare.com/v/83382137/file.html
"PARTIAL SAMPLE OF BROKEN TOC LINKS.epub" It is not a full ePub but just an illustrative sample.

I was hoping to determine if there was some alternative approach to bulk-search for problem cases, perhaps with regular expressions, but none of the metadata columns seem to provide insight into the TOC and the validity of the links. Supposedly at some time the links had been working, but they were not when I downloaded the full ePub from the internet.

Thanks in advance for any help. I wasn't sure if I should post this here or under the "Library Management" part of the forum.
