Known Limitations

This release of Obi 2.0 has some limitations in it which are known. This list covers them. These will be removed in future releases.

Inability to select multiple items collectively

One can select only a single item at a time in Obi. This means that only a single phrase or a single section can be selected. So, operations like copy, paste, merge, delete etc. operate on a single phrase or a single section. Obi 1.2 & Obi 2.0 provide some relief for these limitations as commands like Merge multiple sections, merge with preceding / following phrases, delete following phrases and phrase detection on multiple phrases / sections are added.

Pipeline-lite does not work with non western characters in file path

Pipeline-lite is not able to operate if there are non western characters in path of the file. It is recommended to keep non western characters away from the file paths on which Pipeline-lite needs to work. This means, DAISY 3 export folder and DAISY 2.02 export folder have to be placed at a location so that there are no non western characters in its path. This only affects validation, mp3 encoding and fileset renaming process and does not hinder normal operations of book authoring.

Error messages are not so user friendly

Error messages in message boxes when some invalid operation is done, give information. But these messages are not so user friendly, especially the exception messages. These will be replaced with more user friendly text in future.
