1. More meta data can be added if anybody want this feature.
2. Yes, it will use file name as title if this option is not checked.
3. If any css file exists in the source file dir it will be selected as css.

My advice for all is too leave this piece of crap alone until it's fixed
1) Can you send me the log file? There is a view log button when convert finished.
2) The software's logic is to make a new folder "epub-out" of your source directory's up level directory. This folder will be emptied. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll add a warning message next version.

What about different heading levels? How do italics and bold have to be formatted in the text file? Block quotes? Verses? Blank lines? Footnotes?

Not all of this is indispensible, of course, at least not for a first version -- I'd settle for heading levels 1 and 2, and italics, and blank lines. It's a pity that there seems to be no widely accepted standards for tagged text files (or is there, and I'm just not aware of it?)
1) The text will be formatted by adding html tag to each line of your original text. like this:<p>text line</p>
2)Every file a chapter is just for my own purpose. Because I don't find this function in Calibre. So I decide to make one.
3) Italic/bold style can't be supported by text file so it can't be supported by this software.
4)Maybe I can add a text editor if that is most people wanted.
