You need to use the uninstaller of the version you used to install Sigil. Goes without saying.
If you use the uninstaller provided with the
current release of Sigil, it will not remove the shortcut in /usr/bin/. Why? Because the current Sigil installer doesn't create one, so there's nothing to remove. And I'm not going to make the uninstaller remove files the installer didn't install.
With regards to the infinite loop problem... that's the reason why there's no shortcut in 0.1.6
. The thing is, 0.1.6. for linux had issues because now Sigil is using the Nokia provided binaries of Qt. So I quickly made the
b version for linux that uses the bash script for launching. The script appends the current working directory to the library search path so the Sigil Qt libs are picked up. This is a Nokia provided script.
Since I was pressed for time to update the linux version, I didn't modify the script to fix this shortcut problem. I just removed the shortcut from the installer. There's little point in it anyway, since you have the desktop shortcut and one in the "start" menu as well.
