New Test Version Released
2020-12-13
- Fix finding imgs in existing epubs. Closes
#608
This bug was introduced into the test version Nov 23. Any epubs updated using the test versions since then may well have lost images. My apologies for that.
Many thanks to Epicpkmn11 for finding this before I released.
I have 50+ stories myself that were updated in that period, so here's how I'm fixing it:
- Identify stories updated Nov 23 and later (I have an Updated date column for that). You could also use Calibre's Modified column, but that will likely catch more than you need. Mark or put in temp Reading List.
- Unmark or remove from list stories that can't have internal images (cover images don't count). Notably, fanfiction.net stories never have more than a cover image and can be discounted here.
- Search marked/list books for failedtoload using Quality Check (HTML Content checked) for images that FFF marked as failedtoload.
- From here, you could brute-force it and do update 'Overwrite Always' on those stories.
- For smaller stories, that's perfectly reasonable.
- For large stories, depending on the number of images, I'm manually using Edit book to remove the chapters containing failedtoload images before running epub update.
UPDATE: Also, if it wasn't obvious: If you have some stories in that list marked read and unread pay attention and handle them separately so you have still know which are which afterwards because FFF will marked then all unread again if you use those features.
This is unfortunate, but it's why we have test versions.
