#### Offline EPUB OPF metadata editor, cover studio, and batch catalog inspector

EPUB Metadata Editor is a dedicated desktop tool for editing EPUB2 and EPUB3
package metadata, replacing or designing ebook cover artwork, and validating
local ebook collections without altering chapter layout or breaking container
compliance.

Key Features:

* OPF Dublin Core Editor: Read and update dc:title, dc:creator, dc:publisher,
  dc:language, dc:identifier (ISBN), dc:date, dc:subject tags, dc:description,
  and extended series/collection tags while writing mimetype first as an
  uncompressed ZIP\_STORED entry.
* Cover Art Replacer & Studio: Inspect current cover dimensions and format,
  replace covers from PNG or JPEG images, or compose high-resolution cover art
  with built-in gradient templates and typography, updating manifest items and
  cover meta references cleanly.
* Batch Ebook Inspector & Writer: Scan folders into a catalog table, verify
  EPUB mimetype and OPF container structure, apply batch updates safely, and
  export CSV or JSON catalog reports.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install EPUB Metadata Editor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
