epubcheck for Mac OS X - Page 3

There is FlightCrew as well for validating ePub. FlightCrew gives error messages that are easier to understand.

Is there an updated script for 3.05b yet?

Diegnum · 10-11-2012, 12:15 PM

I took the liberty to update to ePubCheck 3.0b5

I'm sorry as I had to translate to french and I don't have time to retranslate.

To translate all the messages :

1. Go to a Mac
2. Right click the app --> Show contents
3. Search the file in Contents/Ressources/Scripts/main.scpt
4. Double click and it will open with Apple Script (pretty easy to read if you have some notions of any programming language - And french !!! But Google Tranlate is your "ami")

Hope it helps

Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for uploading your version.

I have updated my epubcheck AppleScript wrapper to use the 3.0b5 javascript (see first post). I've also added a pretty icon, and I'm pretty sure I've included a French translation.

I may have mangled your French. If I have, let me know and I'll fix it.

If anyone fancies translating it into another language, just look at the Localizable.strings file in Contents/Resources/fr.lproj, and replace the french strings with the desired language. Upload the new file, telling me what language it is, and I'll add it in to the main application.

Whoops - I forgot to upload it! Now uploaded.

3.0RC1 now available from the first post.

Finally ePubcheck 3.0 was released, if I can Help to update the script tell me. There is relevant differences with the RC1...

pdurrant · 02-02-2013, 11:45 AM

Now updated to the epubcheck 3.0 release.

hey everyone,

I just found out about this awesome epubcheck droplet for mac and wanted to let you know that there's a similar tool available for free download at http://www.pagina-online.de/software/epub-checker/
Works on Mac OS X as well as on Windows and Linux. On Mac you can also use it as a droplet in your dock.
we just updated the tool to epubcheck 3.0.1 which was released last week.
pagina EPUB-Checker also provides englisch and french localization of the user interface - as well as german and spanish.

Go give it a try

/tobias

P.S.: I'm planning to release it open soruce on github soon. Maybe we can join forces someday?

pdurrant · 06-03-2013, 09:14 AM

It's nice to see another approach to a GUI for epubcheck.

I suppose I ought to update my AppleScript too.

Hi pdurrant,
I'm getting an error, "Connection is invalid" when I try to run your app on Mac 10.6.8 desktop. Do you have a fix for this or am I doing something wrong?

@tofi86,
Thanks for sharing Pagina version, this works for me! BTW, this works better than running epubcheck 3.0.1 via Terminal on Mac. It provides a detail listing of errors and warnings, whereas Terminal can spit out gibberish sometimes.

No idea, I'm afraid. I've never come across that error before. Any more to it, or is that the entire message? When does it appear and in what form?
