Excellent questions. When testing I can't make any of the scenarios you describe fail. I tried changing the default, changing only the epub, and changing both. I tried using a folder created by a file manager and using a folder created by CC. Everything worked, so I am left having to guess what happened to you.

I suspect that it is a device-specific timing issue. I have added code that might work around it, and I have added more to the debug log to help find it should the problem rise again.

In your case, given that it is now working I don't see any reason to mess with it.

Thanks for your patience.
