edits won't save

toscana17 · 09-19-2017, 12:21 PM

Hi, I just started use Calibre today. I am attempting to make some edits in my existing ebook. I got my epub file into Calibre and figured out how to use the find/replace thing and I got my edits done. Except that I forgot two. I save the epub file to my desktop and then realized I had 2 more edits to do. I went back and did those. But ever since, I cannot get the final file with those last 2 edits to save. They show up in Calibre but not when I save to my desktop.

I have tried deleting all old epub files on my desktop and closing out Calibre and re-opening. I have gone through this a few times. Every time I can see that the edits are there/saved, in Calibre but when I save the epub file to my desktop and open it and check, the two new edits are not there.

I can't figure out what else to do. Would LOVE some help!

Thanks!

The "Introduce Yourself" forum, as its name suggests, is for introducing yourself. Tell us a little about yourself, what your interests are, and so on.

Technical questions belong in our technical forums. You'll find a forum called "Calibre" which (you've guessed it!) is where you ask questions about Calibre.

sorry, I looked around and got lost, the specific forums I found had no "start a thread", at least not showing up for me. So I finally posted here as it was the only place that allowed me to post something. I will try again.
