Not saving an imported file

roger64 · 04-09-2014, 05:51 PM

Hi

This is what I noticed several times before reporting it here:
- I create a new EPUB named Essai, author Roger, which includes by default a page named Start.xhtml
- I import a text.file named Title_page.xhtml which goes under Start.xhtml
- I import an image named Image0001.svg

I check the book. I rename the files if some reference is missing (../Text/Title_page.xhtml or ../Images/Image0001.svg )
When everything is OK (no mistake or warning reported) I save the EPUB.

When I open it again, it just includes the Start.xhtml, the two new files, text and image, are missing.

The text file and the image are enclosed in the joint zip.

Works for me, following those steps.

I tried again three more times beginning with a new empty book, no way. I lose the two imported files when I open again the EPUB.

I succeed only when I begin with:"Import an html file as a new book". I import directly the page_title.xhtml. When I choose the paths, I make sure my EPUB will be in the same folder than the text file. I save and then, the text and image do not go away.

There must be something you are doing that does not match what you think you are doing. Check the filenames of the file you are saving and opening.
