Creating and editing the project

When you are working on an eBook in eBook Maestro, you are working with a project. A project is a set of settings that define the eBook.

There are three parts in the graphical interface of the compiler: toolbar, navigation bar and editing area.

Toolbar

New - create a new project
New From - create a new project from an existing one
Open - open an existing project
Save - save the project to the currently edited file
Save as - save the project to another file
Compile - compile the project
Run - run the compiled eBook
The name of the file in the rectangle denotes the currently edited file

Use the toolbar to create/open/save a file with project settings.

Attention! Never copy an existing project file in order to create another project. Make sure you use the New button to create each new project in order to initiate a new ID number and protection sequences.

Thus, if two projects have the same ID numbers and names, the eBooks will save their settings over each other, which can lead to unpredictable sequences. And if two projects have the same ID numbers and protection sequences, registration keys will work for both projects.

Navigation bar

The navigation bar is used to switch between project settings. General - general project settings. Files - eBook files to be included into the project. User Interface - user interface settings. Protection - project protection settings. About - information about the compiler.
