No no, you did not order me. :)

My bad, english is not my first language, so I don't always manage to express exactly what I mean.

I'm just afraid sometimes that people donate hoping some specific feature in exchange.

So I try to explain I can't commit on anything.

Sometimes even (like right now) when there was no request in the first place.

Part of the "I don't care about the outside world" way of doing things of Apple. :/

You're not the only one annoyed by this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10924236/mac-zip-compress-without-macosx-folder

Please don't feel obliged to give anything.

Ubooquity is a hobby for me, I don't expect money in return. I do appreciate when people donate, of course, but feature implementation is not and will never be linked to donations.

Just a heads-up, I'm going to change the bookmark API in the next version.

I'm going to use Json structures instead of plain text (with additional data: a "finished" flag and a "last update timestamp").

I prefer to do it right now an try to keep the API stable afterwards.

Thnaks for the info.

Not much I can do except upgrade the PDFBox version whenever a new one is released.

I plan to allow pluging external PDF renderers in the future though.

Thanks for your feedback, glad you found a workaround.

PDF support is unfortunately far from perfect.

I have plans to improve it, but it will take time.

Does your execution directory have proper acces rights (read and write) for the user you are running your command with ?

Thanks for the proposal, but there is nothing I can do against file corruption: this is managed at a level (the database library) that is not run by my code.

As for the root cause, I can only guess the process was killed brutally at some point (power outage perhaps).

It might be a good idea to include those so that clashes can be handled safely.

Good idea.

I could even use this timestamp to display the "recently read" books.

Your CBZ contains a "__MACOSX" folder, filled with "jpg" files which are not really JPG files.

To create the cover, Ubooquity looks for the first image file in the archive. In your case, the first image is not readable and Ubooquity fails to create the cover.

The online reader fails for the same reason.

The fix is simple: just remove the "__MACOSX" folder from the CBZ (it has no use anyway).
