missing container.xml error
I'm having a problem with the editor similar to the one in the
"Adding com.apple.iBooks" thread. After upgrading from 1.31 to 1.33 when I tried to open a file I had been editing I got this error message: Quote:

That error message indicates your epub file is missing the META-INF/container.xml file, which is needed for the EPUB to be useable. Probably because you accidentally changed the case of the META-INF folder while editing the book. Your best bet to recover is unzip the epub change the META-INF folder back to its proper case and re-zip it.

Hi,
just came across that error, trying to "polish" an EPUB. I looked inside and META-INF was missing completely. In another EPUB without that error, i found that file, containing absolutely nothing specific to this file, even the line starting Quote:
So simply copied over the path META-INF to the EPUB without it. Error gone, just like that. -- regards, -- recook |
