Thanks for the feedback. I'm now working to improve the drag-and-drop feature to allow moving many items at once. It's about 80% done so hopefully a new version will be released a week from now.
I'd still really like to hear feedback on the Xhtml import feature. I'm especially curious if anyone has whitespace problems with the imported text (that is, either missing spaces or too many spaces. After getting drag-and-drop working, I'll start improving the import feature to support other tags and attributes. Quote:

Svn to-do list Quote:
Code:
<language> <code>fr</code> <desc xml:lang="en-US">French</desc> </language> <language> <code>en-UK</code> <desc xml:lang="en-US">English (United Kingdom)</desc> </language> Right now it is just a jpg image. I have read Adobe's technote about creating svg cover pages and also posts on this forum where people say svg in epub isn't reliable. Regardless, svg should come when gif and png image formats are added. Now that an xhtml import framework is in place, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to do this. Of course that is very important but it will be one of the last major pieces to be added. This is because I don't want to create the file format now only to be forced to change it once another feature is added. Last edited by awx; 03-11-2010 at 04:46 AM. |

This *should* be the complete language list. Perhaps someone else could counter-check?
languages.xml Will see if I have time to test the xhtml import tonight. Will keep you posted. |

That's great. The only problem is the description language attribute should be "en-US". Do you have any easy way to change those?

I have added the new original version (a small typo) and a version with what I think you want.
To be honest, I don't understand why. Why should everything be <desc xml:lang="en-US">? Isn't the purpose to support different languages and typesets? In this way I think you are restricting several typographic possibilities in foreign languages. Or I just misinterpret the xml:lang... languages.xml languages2.xml |

You are misinterpreting this. The xml:lang describes what language the desc is written in. This allows multiple language descriptions to be added. Such as:
Code:
<language> <code>sv</code> <desc xml:lang="en-US">Swedish</desc> <desc xml:lang="sv">Svenska</desc> </language> |

Ok, so the second file is what you need, right?

Yes, and it's been imported and will appear in the next update. Thanks

Have downloaded the source from SourceForge and I a couple of minor comments.

OK, I've excluded the .user file.
You can simply create your own pfx file to overwrite the sourceforge one. Unless there is some pressing need, I'm not going to try to maintain two parallel solutions that differ only by this file. VS includes a button to automatically generate this file, doesn't it? As for separating zipstorer, what is your reasoning behind this? I do not wish to for several reasons. I prefer a single exe file with no file dependencies if it is possible. And when VS 2010 ships, I will likely have to switch back to the C# Express version as I no longer have an MSDN subscription. If I remember correctly, in the Express editions it's easier to manage the solution with a single project for some reason (perhaps I'm making this up?). |

I don't mean as a seperate file, but the way most people seem to organise their projects is:
Code:
Trunk Externals Project or Trunk Project Externals |

Wouldn't VS go nuts if a new version of the external project had a different file layout than the existing one?

I think the point is moot, because I have just checked and the zipstorer project doesn't seem to support svn output. (It is probably OTT for 1 .cs file anyway.)
However, the reason for using a specific version (-rnnn) in the externals property is to ensure that no surprises occur. But when an external project has new features you want to use, you can just amend the revision number and then run all your unit test and integration tests against the new code, before consuming the new features. |

Understood. A zip file containing the ePubHub.exe app will come with the first release that could be considered "feature complete". It won't be an installer though, just the app.

Even better. Was only using installation in the sense that some portable apps use appdata for profile settings.
