Extra id in id line of opf after use of epub metadata editor program

mrmikel · 02-21-2014, 10:03 PM

I had a problem with books I had posted containing two ids in the id line of metadata.opf.

It only happened in two books in the last version. It was this line:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="calibre" id="calibre_id">b9c16146-3353-4cfc-a467-6e1d3864bede</dc:identifier> But the bad version had another id= statement.

I wish I could cite it to you, but I pulled the bad copies after I eliminated the extra id.

This was probably done by the epub metadata editor which I used this morning, since the editor has no way to editing it without bringing up the document in calibre program.

I will not use that program again, since it created this problem, but I thought you might appreciate the report.

What epub metadata editor program are you referring to? As far as I know, calibre has no dedicated epub metadata editor program. And if it isn't a calibre program, then why is this relevant to the calibre editor?

It is not a calibre function, but just for your private information in case someone should report calibre doing something similar. That is what I first thought until I reflected that I used the EpubMetadata editor by Ben Chenoweth to update the metadata just before uploading here.

Ah, well thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
