When you create a book named "." (only the dot), it's impossible to open it or erase it.

Just reporting, nothing serious!

Regards.

@riorii Thanks for letting me know about this one. It also affected chapters & pages. It should now be fixed as of v0.11.1.

If you need to fix books/chapters/pages that have been made inaccessible due to this bug look in the database (On the books/chapters/pages tables) for lines with a name matching your book/chapter/page name and where slug is empty. Set the slug field to any string (Keep it unique though) and you'll be able to access them again.
