"file as" etc. for uuid?

pslsr · 08-18-2013, 06:17 PM

Hi: new user here. Thanks to the poster of the link to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen.
-Now, in Sigil 0.7.3 win, in the metadata editor, the "name" is "identifier", right? And the value is the uuid (right?). And the "file as" is...what? "custom identifier"? Or do I replace "custom identifier" with the word "uuid", or what else? Is there anything else I need to know to make this UUID portion work properly for Sigil & the future ebook? Thank you.

The identifier can be additional information you like. It is not the UUID. By default Sigil creates an UUID already. It has the identifier BookID. You can change the UUID in the content.opf file. Be careful though, as errors in the opf file can cause quite some issues.
