Edit book references wrongly indicated as erroneous

Minor issue:

Quote:

Edit Book: Syntax highlight links, images, stylesheet includes, etc. Links that point to missing files are marked as errors. You can Ctrl + click on a highlighted link to jump to the file it points to directly.

When I do an "arrange into folders" function, and save the e-book, the refs are indicated as being erroneous (see attachment), while actually they are not. Closing the book and opening it again solves the indications.

Hmm, that is a slightly difficult one to solve because of the way the live link checking works. Simply closing and opening the individual file editor again should fix it, does it?

Yes, it does. And when you are aware of this "feature" it is a minor issue.
But perhaps a rescan after any save action can help?

The trick is to rescan after every file rename, the tricky part is making sure that all such operations are caught. In general this is not easy, for example going back to a checkpoint can change file names, or deleting a file or adding a file or renaming or arranging into folders, all these operations and many more can potentially cause the result of the live check to be wrong.

I have made a fix that should catch almost all of such instances, it will be in next weeks release.
