EPUB3 related requests

[thiago.eec]

Hi, Kovid.

Would it be possible to add a context menu entry to "Mark as Navigation Document"? Right now, you must edit the opf manually.

Also, when upgrading from EPUB2 to EPUB3, content files remain as "html", while EPUBCheck says it should be "xhtml". Can't this be changed automatically?

Thanks,

Thiago

Open a ticket for the mark request. As for auto-renaming I didnt do that deliberately. epubcheck is just idiotic and I dont want every epub 2 -> 3 doing extra work just to shut it up. Renaming a file means all references to it have to be updated, for which the entire book has to be scanned. You can of course easily rename them yourself if it bothers you using the bulk change file extensions tool in the editor.

According to the EPUB3 specifications: "The XHTML Content Document filename SHOULD use the file extension .xhtml". It is not a MUST, but it is recommended. But that's fine. It is easy enough to bulk change them.

Another question: when renaming files on most systems, you can hit tab and then continue editing the next one; this does not work on the Editor. Would it be possible to change this?

[kovidgoyal]

The reason the tab key doesnt work is because after every rename, the file tree has to be rebuilt which causes the next editing to be closed automatically. It could possibly be worked around, but not easily. If you are trying to edit many filenames, you should use the bulk edit facility instead.

Thank you very much!

P.S.: I just tested it here and found two problems. First, if you edit more then one filename, when you press enter, the opf if not being updated with the change. Second, it does not check the filename until you finish the editing, so duplicate names might occur, and give you an error at the end.

as for not entering unique names, I am not too fussed about that, if it bothers you, feel free to send a patch, although I dont really see what can be done other than discarding duplicates, which I have implemented.

Thanks!

I think discarding the change is good enough. I noticed one last error: if you create a set of duplicate names at the same editing session (before pressing enter), then the duplicate is discarded. But, if the new name matches a name that already existed (before the editing session), then it will give you an error, and all the changes are discarded. Also the file tree is not updated until you save or make a new edition.
