New Test Version Posted

- Fix images from existing epub being discarded during update.

If you use the test version, upgrade to this last version before doing any epub updates!

This is in regards to my earlier panic:

On 2025-06-02(v4.46.2) a bug was introduced in the TEST version only of FFF that discarded existing images in epubs during update and marked them all as failedtoload. *New* images, or new downloads (not updates) were not affected.

Luckily, it was an easy fix. Unfortunately, it means you may need to fix or re-download some epubs. I know I do.

TL;DR - The simple solution is: Do Overwrite Always on any epubs containing images that you updated using that version.

Longer solution:
Spoiler:
If you know how, you can edit the affected epubs, searching for <img> tags src="failedtoload". Remove those files (or even just the <meta name="chapterurl" ...> line at the top of the file) and do Update Always on the epub.

Doing that can save a lot of page downloads for unaffected pages.


FYI, this is what I was using while testing this.
Spoiler:
There are a couple of truly broken images. Download with a [1-5] or whatever range, then update using URL with [1-7], etc.
