When unzipping, the 2.1 script first uses the zip command to fix any possible errors in the structure of the zip file. Corrections to the translation very much welcome, as are translations into other languages. The new application also has a neat icon, and a crude translation into French. Drag & Drop or just double-click to run and choose a folder or an ePub. The application now zips folders into ePubs and unzips ePubs into folders. No more unzipping an ePub only to find that you don't have permission to read any of the files!

This application now unzips ePubs for you, and in addition, it resets the file permissions on the unziped files. Thanks to Abecedary and Jellby for help getting the magic incantations right. Just drag the folder of files onto the Applescript application, and your epub will be created.įor those interested in what's going on, it's just issuing two zip commands to create the epub, one that zips up the mimetype file without compression, and the second that zips up the rest of the files with compression, skipping the mimetype file and any.

Here's an AppleScript application that does all the hard work for you.

Zipping a folder of files to make an ePub isn't as easy - the folder needs to be zipped in a specific way.
