epub-creator's Issues

feature request: add original url and date time of conversion

Would be nice to have the original url and date of conversion to be inserted into the contents. Maybe as a footer on the last page.

The url to always be able to go back to the original text and website. The date helps to get a sense when the article was relevant, which is useful for newspaper articles.

That might also be a good opportunity to additionally add a reference to this addon ;-)

Append mode

Thanks for this really useful extension, I was happy to see it's being actively maintained!
It would be great to have some kind of append mode that lets me collect multiple pages and eventually create a single epub with individual chapters for each page.

Images are not linked properly when the url is not "clean"

For example, an article from the guardian newspaper shows right on the reader view but they don't show in different ebooks readers I tried.
Inspecting the created ebook shows they've been downloaded, however, there may be something wrong with the file names or that they don't have a "clear" extension.

i.e., the files are stored as:
2984.jpg?width=300&quality=45&auto=format&fit=max&dpr=2&s=268d9ccc054b66a94f0317ca4bf130ca
but if they are renamed to 2984.jpg (and changed in the content.opf and content.xhtml) then it works fine.

Is that something that could be fixed on loadResources?

Not downloading Overdrive or web pages; fails silently

Firefox 106.0.1 on Ubuntu - As of a few days ago (I think possibly the latest Firefox update) epub-creator no longer downloads anything, whether it's just a plain webpage or a book on Overdrive. I click the button and nothing visibly changes. No activity in the debugging console or Firefox's network log.

Incomplete result file

I tried to convert this webpage, with the following markup:

<blockquote>
<P>
A while back I went to a great <a href="http://www.tclug.org/">TCLUG<a/> meeting with Mick Bauer giving the main presentation.
I was impressed enough with his presentation to purchase a copy of his book: <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bssrvrlnx/">Building Secure Servers
with Linux</a>.  I also enjoy his Paranoid Penguin security related columns in the <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/">Linux Journal</a>.
<p>
One of Mick's columns and a portion of his book deal with setting up stunnel to tunnel rsync over
an SSL encrypted connection.  Unfortunately, I had a heck of a hard time getting this to work because
Mick's documentation examples rely heavily on tcp-wrappers and Stunnel version 3.x syntax.  Stunnel 4.x
has been stable for a long time and I always like to have my software up to date, so I wrote this
documentation to record my solution to this problem in the hopes that someone may find it useful and so I can
remember exactly what I did when I need to set this up again.  If you find any errors or omissions, please
feel free to <a href="http://www.netbits.us/contact.php">contact</a> me.
<p>
All right then, it's go time.

"Save selection" option

Sometimes there is text that is not included in the epub file, such as the "About the Author" text at the bottom of an article.
Could a "save selection" option be added? This would allow all the selected text to be included in the epub file.

Thank you very much!

Unable to save images from medium

Hi,

When I print preview this page:

https://towardsdatascience.com/machine-learning-kaggle-competition-part-one-getting-started-32fb9ff47426

I can see the images in the print preview. But when I save it as a epub, no images are saved.

Please help. Thanks.

All epubs are empty.

Nice Addon but right now all generated epubs are empty...

Firefox 62.0.3 (64-Bit)

Didn't create pictures

Hi,

nice plugin, but it didn't create the pictures.

I can provide the generated epub file but as it contains sensitive material I won't be uploading it here.

Silently fails to download the Kanban Guide

When I try to use this plugin to convert the Kanban Guide web page to an ePUB document, then it silently fails.

The plugin raises a prompt for the author. I confirm an author. But then no ePUB download occurs.

As a workaround, I am using a similar browser plugin, dotepub.

Illustrated books without style

Thanks for the effort!
I tried in v0.5.4b8 (style setting = on) to convert some illustrated books, that typically have a large image all over the page, and the text rendering highly depending on the original font, being placed onto the appropriate places, and font settings such as colour (white font over dark illustration).

In the converted ebook, the images are in the middle, but the text is unstyled in the left upper corner of the page.

"Cookies required"

Thanks for this effort. You gave new life old ereader.

I have issues converting epub from this ebook format
https://alephdigital.publica.la/reader/the-myth-of-piers-plowman

The epub produced has only the follow message:
"Cookies required"
"Cookies are not enabled in your browser. Some features may not work properly"

request: save dialog improvements

I'm testing with FF's reader-mode. When I click to create epub:

The dialog that asks to confirm the author stays open (but blank) after saving
The filename lacks .epub which makes the "open with" or saving without changing name fail to open correctly with the ebook reader app from Calibre
The generated filename is a complex string of characters, not anything meaningful

Ideally, .epub should be appended automatically, the save dialogue should have the portion excluding .epub selected for name-change, and that portion should default to either a sanitized version of the URL or to the HTML title of the page being saved. That way, I could just click save and the default would be functional enough most of the time.

Otherwise, thanks for the great tool!

The language of the epub file defaults to english

Greetings,
I think I have found a little "quality of life" issue (for a lack of better term) with this otherwise excellent addon. I save articles in multiple languages, but it seems that Epub Creator defaults to "English" on the epub metadata. This means that Pocketbook (both the reader I use and their Android app) and similar readers that support hyphenation on epub files will hyphenate e.g. finnish text with English ruleset and the results look quite strange for reading.

One way to remedy this issue is to use calibre to switch the language from English to finnish, but this is an extra step I need to repeat for every non-english epub created with Epub Creator.

I'm curious if you think it could be feasible to allow setting the language for the exported file manually within the extension, perhaps in similar way to how it prompts for "author" every time.

Error exporting forum posts to epub

I found that Firefox reader mode works with posts in Discourse, for example https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-moderation-guide/63116

However, trying to export an epub of that gives: "TypeError: parsed is null"

error when converting some pages

getting an error that says global.crypto.subtle is undefined on some pages

e.g. http://distributedweb.care/posts/who-owns-the-stars/
