Paste/drop: split source file

Why split a source file

To make the upload process more efficient and user-friendly, when using the Paste/drop method to upload a source file, it is recommended to split it into multiple smaller files, particularly if the file is a book. As books tend to have a larger volume, splitting the file and allowing Termsoup to process it in smaller chunks will greatly enhance the user experience.

It is important to note that this feature is only accessible when using Paste/drop method.
