I find tweak_epub to be a nice addition to AWP for occasional use. I would like to see a way to launch it from inside AWP.
There is one improvement I would like in tweak_epub. I would like to be able to specify two editing tools that can be launched. One for text and one for images. It is cumbersome to change the default when I need to tweak an image.
By the way, thanks for making such a useful tool.

You can easily launch any application without having a dedicated command in Atlantis. Just create a shortcut to the "tweak_epub" utility on the Windows Desktop, and associate this shortcut with a desired hot key.I would like to see a way to launch it from inside AWP.
The "tweak_epub" utility does not allow to edit non-text files from within its GUI. If you click a graphic file in the "Files" box of the utility, the "Edit File..." button would be grayed out.I would like to be able to specify two editing tools that can be launched.

There are plenty of things that you might need to do with the files from an EPUB package besides editing text files and graphic files. "tweak_epub" is not Sigil. It is not an all-in-one EPUB editor. It is a simple utility. And I personally see no point in trying to turn it into something more complex. But it still allows to make virtually any change to the contents of an EPUB file without introducing new commands to the utility.
When you open an EPUB file with the "tweak_epub" utility, it unpacks the files from the EPUB package to a dedicated folder under the "My documents" folder. Just click the "View All in File Manager..." button in the window of the "tweak_epub" utility to open this folder in Windows Explorer. You can do with the folder contents whatever you wish. Here is an excerpt from the corresponding Help topic:
You can edit any file with a dedicated editor. You can remove files, replace files, rename files, or add new files. You can delete any of the sub-folders, or create new sub-folders. Etc.
When you switch back to the window of the "tweak_epub" utility after making changes to the files of the EPUB package, its "Save Changes" button automatically becomes enabled.
Click this button to save all the modified files to the EPUB package.
In other words, the utility would turn the modified folder into an EPUB file.
