Already converted message?

itimpi · 09-05-2009, 05:37 AM

Is the following a bug or by design?

I have just removed a format to run a re-conversion to ePub and LRF (I am using the 0.6.11 release). In preparation I have removed the existing ePub and LRF versions from the library via the Edit metadata dialog. When I try to convert to ePub or LRF I now get told that I have run this conversion before - do I want to proceed?

Is this by design, or should that message only appear if I already have the relevant format in my library. It would seem better if the latter is the case - not whether at some time in the past I had that format in my library.

Edit: This message seem to pop up even when there has never been a book in the stated format - so I guess it is a bug?

That is a bug. What is supposed to happen is, if the file already exists in the target format then it asks you to continue. I'll look into why it's not working correctly.

I've committed a fix for the correct behavior.
