epub file too large?

Stasia · Yesterday, 11:27 PM

I'm working to combine shorter stories into 'collections' so that I have all the connected stories in a series in one file. This has been great.

I just finished one, closed the file, then realized I forgot to have Sigil generate a TOC and now Sigil won't open the file. It just crashes as soon as it tries. It'll open other files, but not this one.

Is there a file size maximum?

I'm on Windows 11, using Sigil 2.3.0

I've opened and edited a 800MB epub file with Sigil without issues. Can you try opening the epub with a zip utility ( I use 7Zip under Windows) and see if it reports any errors. As a last resort, you can extract the files into a temp directory and then insert them into a new ePub document in Sigil.
