[REQ] Compress folders to EPUB format

[Lululalu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I want to turn folders back to epub format after editing them.

Describe the solution you'd like

I can, with a few clicks, turn folders into epub files.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to convert to zip, and then renaming the file extension to epub. But it doesn’t work. Apple Books can’t read the file.

Additional context

Keka can already decompress epub files, so compressing it back to epub, would make sense IMO.

This should work, so I would suggest you check your zip settings.

Also, you can try it using default macOS zip creation (Archive Utility) to confirm.

Then at least we will have a solid foundation of knowledge to start from.

@Lululalu be sure you're compressing the epub contents without any intermediate folder.

That’s what was preventing it from working. I was compressing the folder that Keka created, instead of the internal folders and files. Thanks for your help.

Now thinking about the UX, I believe that, recompressing the epub could be made easier, with less clicks and renaming. So, other people would not make the same mistake that I made.

Please, check my other comment above.

@Lululalu I don't see fit for an epub format in Keka since it's not a compression format but a structure of files and folders compressed in ZIP format. I leave this in the future milestone, just in case.
