Give the attached version a whirl and see if it fixes the problem.

1) The updated plugin has fixed my issue.

2) Please find the two attached images. I use cwebp. However, I have to arrange folders as shown in the image, otherwise the {outputfile} path doesn't match. Maybe you should look into this.

For example, the original path is

OEBPS/Images/cover.jpg

and the new path from {outputfile} is

OEBPS/Images\cover.webp

I think this is why it is not working for him.

I keep getting burned by Windows OS. I used os.path.join() to join directory name and base name (as I automatically am used to do), and it uses the underlying OS path sep, which on Windows is backslash (cannot for the life of me figure out why they did this). Try the attached test version, hopefully it fixes your issue.

Indeed it works now with the right path of {output file}

Thank you 🙏

@capink, I have to correct myself. It works in case the images are in a subfolder. If they are in the root folder (cover.jpg) the new path is added with a forward slash (/cover.webp).

Hopefully your coming version 1.1.4 will clear that bug. You must be hating Windows...

OK. Try this one.

Edit: Can you also try when multiple folders e.g. folder1/folder2/cover.jpg

Thank you. It works now with root or multiple folders.

Hello Capink,

may I make a new feature request ?
Would it be possible to add a Rename File(s) action for Editor Chains ?

(I use actions to add/import files such as standard Titles etc. in my book, but have problems when same-name files already exist.
I cannot always overwrite them -- e.g., if I import "Title.html" and a "title.html" already exists, it won't overwrite it, even if the "overwrite" option is selected. In that case I must first use "delete files" to remove Title.html and title.html.
Overwrite does work correctly if the existing file is also called Title.html).

I'd like to be able to e.g. rename "title.html" to "title_old.html" before importing. I also frequently rename files e.g. ".*?c\d+.(x*)html" to "Book-\1.xhtml). Would be nice if there was a Rename files action (with the usual Regex etc. to select files).
And, additionally, to have something like the "Bulk Rename" feature which offers automatic numbering of multiple files being renamed...

If ever you have the time & feel like doing this... :-) thanks

epub files are case sensitive so that is the natural behavior because these are two different names.

I've said already that I have plans to write a bulk-rename plugin that can be used from within Editor Chains. It should support regex, numbering, case change ... etc. But this will not be coming anytime soon.

• Further modifications to Run Command

I've got hold of a Windows machine and was able to test and make modifications to make the following happen:

• Run batch files.
• I got ImageMagick to work in Windows using the settings in the attachment. Can be useful for reducing book size. Note that you will need to change the binary to where it is installed on your system.

[jbacelar]

It works perfectly.
Thank you so much! capink

Hello,

How do you get the chains offered for download in this thread into the plugin?

[capink]

right click chains dialog > import chain > browse to the zip file

Ah! I knew it was something simple that I was overlooking.

One other question: Is it possible to delete tags with no text inside? Like empty paragraphs or empty spans?

I tried to use Tag Actions with the configurations in the attached images, but it doesn't remove any tags, even ones with nothing inside.

If I should be able to do this, what am I doing wrong?

[capink]

I pushed a fix for this. Try and see how it goes.

That seems to do the trick! Thanks!
