Any way to not have Caliber add numbers to file names when saving to disk

Because its annoying if you are saving files back to your own directories, I understand the reason within calibers directory, but the other directory is mine!:P

Also, is there any way to work around caliber being unable to convert to .epub due to not finding a good place to split the file?

I'm converting over all my .lrfs, and everything else I've got into .epub, deleting everything else out of my directories and leaving it at that
hoping I won't have to shift standards again soon.

It's on my todo list and you can choose profile None to avoid splitting (of course the resultant epub files wont work on the reader)

Is there any way I can force a split? I don't care if the split isn't perfect or it needs 2 or whatever.

Dumb question time. How do I do that?
I can't seem to edit the .lit file with anything. Is there a program I'm not aware of to do it?

Thanks

Ah well you cant control the number of page breaks (it makes the minimum number needed to satisfy the file size constraints), only where the breaks happen. I'd suggest manually splitting the file into two parts.

Now I'm confused. I inserted the tag you posted before every chapter change and it still comes up as no reasonable point to split?


the book is 0.3mb.
I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong.

The split algorithm tries to split every html file larger than 300K into parts smaller than 300K. It looks for all page breaks in the file, splits at the central one first, then in each part splits at the central one in that part and so on.

I don't understand why I am still getting the no reasonable place to split error then?
I have 15 of the <br... tags you posted in the book now instead of just two.
Therefore I'm thinking it's a different problem now, despite the fact that I get the same error.

Hmm that's odd. Open a ticket and attach the files.
