Thanks for the effort cmumford!

Is it hard to add Find&Replace functionality to the program? Over wise it is very nice application. Congratulation on that and huge thanks.

Find is already there (but no menu, must Ctrl+F), but replace is not. It shouldn't be too hard to add. I've just submitted an enhancement request so we will get it in at some point.

BBeB Binder is improving by leaps and bounds!

I wonder, however, if there is any way we can force the beginning of a chapter to start on a new page? Is there any convention for this?

Thanks!

That's definately the plan. I don't know if will be in the next release, but it's high on my priority list.

I am wondering if the title and author can be preserved when a file is converted.

It does today. A little explanation is in order however. If you type in the author/title in the property page after loading the document then it will be set in the eBook metadata and the reader will display that information.

We also look for <meta> tags in the HTML document, and if present will auto-fill in the property page. There's a bug where sometimes the meta tags can't be retrieved and we working on this.

Was this what you had in mind, or did you want the author/title specified in a different way?

Hi,

I tried running 0.1.5.0 from Google Code and your 1.6Beta version, and both die immediately upon startup (Windows error report).

Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Do you have .Net 2.0 installed?

Actually, on second thought it's probably a known issue. Did you run vs_piaredist.exe as described in README.htm

lhilden · 02-06-2007, 10:31 AM

That was it, thanks! I didn't think to run vs_piaredist.exe because I wasn't getting any exception at all, much less a "filenotfound" exception.

I like what you're doing here mumford !
Great job!

Hi, I tried to use patch 2 version, if working on small file like 1M, it worked fine (although on cover page would prefer Title then author instead of otherway around, and without TOC link line, but that's just minor)

but the problem is, when i try to convert txt file of a few MB in size, like 4M, it will hang like forever, the CPU goes 99% for loong time (never finished). it doesn't seem like scale linearly with size, any idea? maybe searching/parsing long string can be better tuned? this is a big problem for me.

ok it goes like this: after i open the file, it freezes a while to back to updated GUI, look at CPU still like 99% even though i can scroll the whole text in the text window (so don't know what it's doing), then i do a save as lrf file, it goes "parsing HTML..." and stay like that for a very long time, cpu again 99%, no file created so i usually kill the app to close...

thanks

First, Great program!

Am I supposed to be able to edit the test in the left side text window. I tryed to delete extra blank lines and insert some others and it wont let me change the text or html part.

Great Program
