Hi LonelyTutor,

Please check your incoming pm for my response. The "epub" you sent was not a real epub. It had no META-INF folder, no container.xml, no Images directory or image files. Something has really messed this "epub" up. Sigil did not create this epub as it always creates the META-INF folder and container.xml file.

It looks almost like you are having disk corruption issues or your temp files are being overwritten by something. Please validate your hard disk drive is in fact not corrupted and since using Mac OSX that you are **not** leaving your epubs open in Sigil over weekends or long enough to automatically have temporary files removed by the OS itself. If you leave temporary files (open epubs in Sigil on MacOSX) too long the Mac OS itself will remove files.

You can prevent this from happening by setting a new home for temporary files when using Sigil (see the Sigil Preferences).

If none of that is the issue, I would need a copy of the epub that was originally loaded into Sigil to see if it was properly formatted or not to know what happened.

Hope this helps,

KevinH
