Hello,
The program gives me an error if it wants to write something in "Description", the errors are very frequent. I am waiting for the next upgrade and maybe you can change and enter the facility to put the Title and the Author in the file name. Thank you.

It will help me if you provide an EPUB file that results in an error when you add something to the Description box. (You can change the file extension from .epub to .jpg and the attach the file to a post.)

As for putting Title and Author in the filename, the program already does that. Click the "Rename file" link located under the Save button.

, Sorry, I meant, from the file name in the title and author, in fact I asked you once and not only me.

Example of error, for any epub does the same. I did not reinstall the program and had no problems with it (win 10 x64).

I've added a description to one of my EPUBs and it works fine. So please provide me with one of your EPUBs which results in an error, and I will look into the issue.

I reinstalled the program but still doing so, I attached an epub.

There's no attachment. You can't attach an EPUB, you have to change the file extension to .jpg and then you should be able to attach it (at least, you used to be able to).

.epub is an allowable file extension for attachments.

It doesn't work that way, but I see that the epub extension is allowed.

Oops, my mistake. I've now downloaded the epub and I can confirm there is a problem. I will look into it tomorrow. I should be able to get a fix out within a day or two.

Did you check this epub using the latest epubcheck to mak sure there are no errors getting in the way?

Yes it did me something and anyway it is a simple epub only with text.

Ok, thank you and please think about the facility with the title and the author taken from the file name. I have some books where I didn't write anything there just garbage.
