renaming chapters doesn't rename all chapters

I have a mb4 file that has chapters title 1-67. I created a chapters.txt with the correct names and used the same times from tone dump. however the last for chapters are not renamed. here is --dry-run preview.

using this command tone tag file.m4b --auto-import=chapters --dry-run

this is the relevant section in the chapters.txt file

is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thank you. I found the problem:

C# has a TimeSpan class that has a method TryParse to parse time strings. This class, as the name states, is used to represent a timespan and also can also be used to represent timespans greater than 24 hours (why not?). However, unfortunately the TryParse method seems to be limited and not to support timespans > 24h (WTF?).

This (currently) results in any chapter after 24h to be skipped, when using the chapters.txt format.

Next steps:

• work around the 24h limitation in TimeSpan (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7429177/work-around-for-timespan-parsing-2400)
• check other import formats for this problem
• deploy a new version

As a workaround you could maybe try the tone.json format to rework your chapters, but I have to check, if this format suffers the same issue.

tone dump --format=json "my-file.m4b" > tone.json
# do modifications
tone tag my-file.m4b --meta-tone-json-file="tone.json" --auto-import="tonejson"

Should be fixed. Targeted for release v0.1.0. The check for other formats having this issue is not fully done yet, but my first impression is, that other formats should work. Please try the tone.json workaround, if you find the time.
