But you might have to branch the project to include your solution.

Their problem is that the rest of us users who care nothing about the file structure and more about its use in creating ebooks are too busy using it to criticize it.

And you are not contributing any to the project by just using it. Open source projects works because people do more than just use the program.

The rest of us are thankful that Kovid is so responsive to our use questions and is continually updating it, unlike very many open source projects...see Kompozer, which I also use and enjoy.
Kovid doesn't have to do this at all. If I were him I would be inclined to say all this static is not worth it for something he is offering for FREE with only REQUESTS for donations.

Maybe the problem is that the project is associated with just one person. It might be hard to get more developers. And the request for donations does not help in getting more developers for what it says is "this is my project" and does not really stimulate other people to participate.
