Description Thomas Leigh 2020-03-05 00:13:40 UTC 
Description:
I cannot export my e-book (a master document) into an .epub format. It always ends up with an error message.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a master document.
2. Choose *File › Export As › Export as EPIB...*.

Actual Results:
An error pops up: “Error saving the document Thomas Leigh - Meditation Experience:



Wrong parameter.

The operation was started under an invalid parameter.”

Expected Results:
The document should be saved to .epub successfully.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The problem persists at least since LibreOffice v. 6.3.4 to the v. 6.4.1.

The feature of exporting to .epub seems to work well in case of a normal (non-master) document.

If it would help, I can provide You with my document and all its sub-documents...

It's possible to use a workaround.
First export in odt then export to EPUB.
Of course this tracker is still relevant.
