Not sure if this is Sigil or Calibre ...
... or something else?
The epub file from here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/11428 Displays OK in Calibre as it is when you download it, but if you open it in Sigil and then save it, when you open it in Calibre again it will only show the cover page, not the story content. Sigil is 0.2.0 Calibre is 0.6.54 |

The individual html files in the epub open OK when you extract them, they just don't display in Calibre. Do you think it might be something to do with the (very) long file names?

The file name edit was to cause Sigil to modify the epub file and save (and I really do hate really long names INSIDE a container that identifies the content. "ch01","ded","cred", "cover" work just fine :P ) ![]() could we get a tool to Rename and sequence# a select grouping of files in the "book browser" , when "multi-select" gets added? Code:
base_name: ch_ start_from: 1 number_of_places: 2 ![]() |

It looks like it probably is the long filenames that is causing it, I've just renamed them in Sigil myself and it displays ok in Calibre. If you still have the original file, can you try it again without renaming them to see if it opens in Calibre then?

My only guess is that my path was shorter then your path to the files so the long file names didn't come into play for me.
If I understand correctly you worked around the problem by shortening the file names? Odd that it doesn't happen more frequently. |

Yes, shortening the filenames fixed it. I do have quite a long path to where the ebooks are, I forgot that would affect it too. But the file was in the same place, with the long names, before I opened it in Sigil and it opened in Calibre's viewer OK then. It was only after opening it in Sigil that it stopped working.

Long file names are a distinct possibility. Windows handles file paths as a string with a limit of 250 characters. Anything beyond that will cause problems - but without any kind of system warning.
