Thanks for appreciation; I've to underline that it's only a development of
a brilliant  idea of George Orwell III (:en:s:Template:Freedimg).

I think that the tool should be used to show a "preview" of final image,
since it's a little bit band-expensive (since a unusefully large image is
upload to show a piece of it), nevertheless it's so user-rewarding that I
think that this is a minor fault.

About ePub bug: I presume that's mainly a css issue into ePub, and that id
could be solved finding the right css to export; but I could not test this
hypothesis as it deserve.

I hope to extend the tool to make it run everywhere - simply adding what
needed to tell him explicitely the basename of File/Index/Page to upload.

Alex
