I proceed with this thread as it addresses an issue, which is really annoying: attaching arbitrary files.
I have several files, which belong to an ebook, like:
- Source code archives
- CD-ROM contents
- Downloaded errata
- Book discussions saved as html/mht/maff etc.
- Own note files
- ...
Initially I put them into the book folder in the library, but realized that they were deleted after a change to the book title or author name! Affected folders were deleted by Calibre and created with new names without preserving all files. Fortunately I had a backup.
As a workaround I had to include them as an archive as if it was another format of the corresponding ebook. But that is nonsense, since it is not a further format.
Is there no possibility to implement a separate section or folder for (protected) attachements in Calibre?
