That's great to know! Thanks for the detailed answer. Honestly, I think this is something worth highlighting in the documentation and features list, since it's not so obvious. Many people might take for granted that due to the protection system and how many tools approach privacy nowadays this...

Well, the question as originally posed is basically this: can you confirm to me that if the author doesn't include any personal data, and does not enable protection/registration on an eBook, the final compiled eBook can not be traced back to the original author (e.g. via it's license or some...

So the variables like author, etc., which can be expanded in the various templates or via scripting are not references to data which is actually stored in the finale executable?

I know that enabling the "About" box is optional, but from my past experience with various executable eBook compilers I know that the way the unique ID (UUID) of an eBook is created is usually tied to the author ID (i.e. the customer ID), which ends up in the eBook binary file. With older...

My main work use of HTMLExe is creating eBooks for customers: they put the contents, I assemble them with nice graphics and create the eBook, hand it over to the customer and my job is done. In such cases, I often don't need nor want my name to be associated with the created eBook, which means...

I’ve been selling digital images, ebooks and Print-on-Demand paper books for years. How this actually works in real life is that it’s the big reseller platform that handles the VAT for you, directly at the purchase/sale moment (as you suggested). For example, I sell paper books and eBooks on...

As far as I can remember, you have to manually disactivate the old license, then insert the new one. Since your previous license has expired, you’re dealing with a new license altogether, although I think this might also be true for any license update. When I switched from the old HTML-Exe to...

That seems the best solution. MP3 files are already compressed using their own packing algorithm, so attempting to further compress them will not result in any significant size gain but will consume just a lot of CPU resources and take a long time. I’ve noticed that with file packer usually...

Since the current documentation of the Beta 2021 hasn’t yet been updated, could you briefly list any changed/new directives that are usable in directive files? E.g. I guess PubType values have changed, since HE2021 no longer supports Self-Extracting, HTML Viewer and IE Browser publications. How...

Thanks a lot for the clarification. Yes, I’m currently using HTMLExe on a single PC. Good to know that I can switch back and forth between stable and beta, in case I need to handle older project which I’m not ready to migrate. One final question, I’m assuming that the new beta also supports...

If I’ve understood correctly, future versions of HTMLExecutable will support multiple engines: IE WebControl (via Trident) — i.e. the old engine from v4.x, which runs in IE11 emulation mode, with limited supported for HTML5/CSS3 and modern features, including JavaScript version. Chromium (via...

Since all my eBook projects are version controlled via Git, I was thinking of creating a custom tool to serialize/deserialize .hepx project files, by unpacking them in the repository so that only the text files and images are tracked, but not the .hepx files. My tool would then handle updating...

Nice. I was really looking forward for the new rendering engine. Before installing the beta I have a few questions though… Is it possible to install the beta 2021 along with the latest stable release? I would like to keep using the stable version for some projects, and experiment the beta with...
