Merging problem

First of all, thank you for your efforts.

I don't use your plugin very often, but sometimes its really a time saver.

Among other things I use it to make anthologies of articles I have downloaded in epub format.
I have already made 3 of these collections with some articles from a specific site that I visit and everything was ok since the last time.

Today I tried to make a forth collection and I discovered a couple of problems.
Every epub I was trying to merge had 3-6 articles (chapters).
The xhtml inside them had names as article0.xhtml, article1.xhtml, article2.xhtml etc.
The images had names like img0.jpeg, img1.jpeg, img2.jpeg etc.
There were 12 epubs.

The first problem is that although the TOC in the final epub was generated ok, the articles that it was pointing to where wrong and the wrongness was random.
Looking with the Sigil discovered that the xhtml files were in the wrong order in the book (a different wrongness this one).
But that was not crucial.
I re-made the TOC (from the headers) to point to the right articles and the order was not important for that anthology.

The real problem was that a lot (but not all) of the pictures were mixed up.
I see the same picture in more than one article (taking the place of an other pictures).
Some of them are really famous and are in more articles than others.
There was not a pattern that I could recognize to that, so its really difficult to fix it.

The procedure for the epub creation was the same as the previous collections.

I tried different settings with no luck.
I use Calibre 1.48 (WinXP) with the latest version (2.0.4) of your plugin.
I always update it, so maybe some update break it for me.

Is there a version prior to 2.0 that I could check?

TIA
