@kovidgoyal: Guess that's where we're different - I like to be able to visualize the structure before tinkering with it. Outliners, desktop wikis and the like are popular, because they show things in a structured and - to my mind - orderly way, while this - still: to my mind - is messy and jumbled.

@AnotherCat: This is not about the merge plugin, the two images I uploaded are just samples. Of course other files may have other virtues/problems. The thing for me is to be able to view things in a structured way. (Isn't that what xml is all about )

Regards,

And I was telling you how it has structure, namely the spine ordering and that furthermore you can easily replicate the folder structure by simply giving the files appropriate prefixes using the bulk rename tool.

I don't say it has no structure, just that the visualizing of the structure ist less than optimal to my eyes and mind.

But let us not argue just for the sake of argument ...

I am also more of a Visualizer, but I am also a Mechanic.

I use the Visual side(s) to locate where I need/want to work then switch to the code to do most of it where I get the fine control.

Wordstar(DOS) with its dot codes never posed any problem for me. I could see 'Ceneterd Paragraph here' just fine.

[/QUOTE]

You stated as your example "The file is a merge of five books to one, using Calibres plugin to merge epubs." which I assumed meant you were referring to the epubmerge plugin. For my own contribution I just continued using it as an example. Sorry if you feel that I confused things as apparently I was incorrect in my assumption.

A little off topic, but I would be interested in the plugin other than epubmerge that you used to merge the files as it may be better than epubmerge. Thanks.

Well, I did not use any plugin - I simply unzipped the five original epubs, and copied the relevant files into Sigil in the correct order and renamed them en masse on the go. Since the five original books was of my own making, I was quite sure about what I did and which files were necessary, and the whole operation took less than a quarter of an hour. Sometimes the apparently easy solution (Calibre's Merge-plugin in this case) turns out to be the most difficult and laborius
