Recreating Container.xhtml

Not long ago, I started a thread to discuss my Container.xml file, which had mysteriously vanished. I fixed the problem by creating a new epub and importing all the files from the damaged epub into it.

I then found a second thread discussing the same problem @
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225261

My understanding is that Sigil automatically recreates the file when you open it.

Well, the same thing just happened - my file Container.xml just vanished. I closed the epub and reopened it, but it's still missing. I then shut down Sigil and reopened it. But my images still don't display, and when I validate my epub in Epub-Checker, I get the error message "ERROR RSC-001 Geobop3.0.epub File 'META-INF/container.xml' could not be found."

So is there some way to manually create this file? Actually, the first problem is finding it; it's apparently invisible.

This reminds me of another problem I've had - vanishing images. I fixed that by backing up all my images. So if the images in an ePub disappear, I just reimport them from my backup folder.

But I don't know how to recreate Container.xml. Any ideas?

Thanks.
