[Feature Request] Title Options / Filename Options #1

Open danmed opened 1 year ago

danmed commented 1 year ago

This is possibly just my OCD but would it be possible to add in some options to set the title of each file to something other than what the script decides?

Example :

Would it also be possible to customise the filenames in a similar fashion?

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, I overlooked the importance of the file name because, after all, it is a audiobook for personal use that I won't pay much attention to the file name as long as it is arranged in the correct order and provides chapter names. Besides, I don't want the file names to be too long.

It's feasible to add an option for users to enter the book title, but I'm not sure why the book title should be added in each chapter file. After all, they will all be placed in a parent directory named after the book title.

Is the book you converted https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4686? I tried it and found that, coincidentally, it doesn't have chapter titles at the beginning of each chapter. Its formatting isn't great.

So it outputs those filenames. This tool can't get the chapter name but use the first words instead.
