Structure of some ePub different in Windows or in Macintosh

PO40600 · 04-26-2014, 08:31 PM

Hello,

I recently had a problem with some eBooks that I can't open on my PocketBook Touch Lux using CoolReader.

After long inquiries, with the help of a friend, we noticed that the structure of these eBooks appears to be different in the Calibre Book Editor according to whether we are under Windows or under Mac OS.

With Windows, all the .html files are in the "text files" section

With Mac OS, all the html files are in another section

I would like to know the reason of this different behavior which prevent all Search and replace action to be done when "all text files "option is checked on.

Attachment : the ePub file, whose structure appeared to be different whether we are on Windows or Mac OS. I know that this ePub is badly built. That's why we wished to make strong changes using Regex rules, that can't be applied on Mac OS, due to the different way the structure appeared.

Umm the epub file you attached has no files inside it whose names start with division? Also the file has iternal filesnames with non-ascii characters in it, which is probably what is causing the issue.

Thank you Kovid,

The renaming of the html files into division-01, division-02, etc, was part of all the regex, as well as the replacement of the stylesheet.

We know that there was non ASCII characters and we wish to correct them with some regex.

the real problem is :

For this file*, Why in Windows, the html files are in the text files section and why in Mac OS there are elsewhere (I use Calibre 1.34 in french language, and the html files are in "Divers" section, which is the last section from top to bottom of the File Navigator.

* and for 15 other of the same serie, all of them causing same troubles when editing them in Mac OS Calibre ...

The file you attached had all its files under text in OS X as well as windows.

Well, so How can we explain what appears on the screen copy in my first message ?

I have no idea, if you attach the actual file from which you took the screenshot, that would help.

Is it possible to send you the attachment via MP, because the first one has been removed (because of ©)

I've sent you a PM
