Latest Update: The current version is 1.8.0
Recent Changes:
  • Added the ability to extract metadata from filenames (Batch operation).
  • Added zipstorer work-around and error message when issue is encountered during the unzipping phase to EPubMetadataEditorConsole.

The ability to extract metadata from filenames has been requested on multiple occasions and I have always said that I had no clear idea how to implement such a thing. Well, I wanted a programming challenge as a way of relaxing (go figure!) so I had a go.

There are a couple of things to note:
1. The filename has to start and end with a metadata field.
2. It only searches the filename. You cannot extract metadata from a folder structure.

(If there is enough interest, I could potentially add support for extracting metadata from folders.)

As always, I have done some testing, but this was a complicated function and I am not confident it will work perfectly. If you find a bug, please let me know!
