option to expand an epub
From [email protected] on June 25, 2013 02:46:19
Low priority feature request to add the option to blow up an epub to an expanded directory, to complement the existing functionality to zip a directory up.
With amateurs making EPUBs using not-always-perfect conversion tools, it's not that uncommon to get errors that are not hard to fix but that requiring explaining the need to unzip the publication first. I was thinking it would be helpful if epubcheck could do both steps, so that the process could be simplified to using one program.
Thinking a simple option like:
-unpack <dir>
that if set would override any validation steps and simply unzip the epub to the specified directory.
Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/issues/detail?id=286
@mattgarrish I would take this and implement it for a next release.
How shall we handle the case when <dir> already exists?
