anybody has toxaris' epub optimizer file?

FWIW, There is a Sigil font subsetting plugin as well as JpegOptimizer plugin for Sigil. In addition there are command line tools to work with/compress png/gif images too.

So pulling together a similar tool would not be that difficult.

which is a (fantastic) Microsoft Word addon to go from DOCX->EPUB.

Curious - did you ever get 1.27 to work for you?

I have no idea of how many updates of Word there have been since Sept 2018 - at a guess 20. Not only do the features of ePub Tools I use still work, they work better - in particular the Dialogue Checker, its faster and it doesn't trip up on its shoelaces anywhere near as much.

It occasionally goes AWOL at startup, but I overcome that toot sweet by setting its check box in Options.Addons.COM Addons back on.

My main install has been busted for years with that odd:

• Blank Options/Tabs issue.
  
  • Never could debug it or figure out the cause.
• Dialogue Checker freeze (because of dual screens?)
  
  • Which again, we could never narrow down.
    
  • (It definitely was some sort of odd Word update after all those years.)
    

But I have a Virtual Machine I use for the main book cleanup, so IF it ever broke (which it hasn't), I could rollback to a working version at the push of a button.

Toxaris's EPUB Tools is the best damn timesaver for Finereader OCR->DOCX->EPUB + Dialogue Checking, so I'll never let it go.
