Hi Doitsu,

Please do not try and delete files that exist in the manifest with the "other" family of interface calls.

deletefile
addfile
readfile
writefile

are all designed to work only on manifest files. The new version of the launcher code will enforce that.

Almost all files should be in the manifest. To access files not in the manifest such as container.xml, mimetype, OEBPS/content.opf etc, you would use the following interface routines:

readotherfile
writeotherfile
addotherfile
deleteotherfile

There is a serious bug in the deletefile interface in both the wrapper.py and in the launcher.py that I now have a fix for. I will post them in one minute so please hang on.

Thanks!

KevinH
