In a fit of depression over the present state of Sigil development I used at couple of hours yesterday to idly search for possible alternatives - there being of course none right out of the box.

But I stumbled over this:

https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/en...b_open_toolbox

which looks promising. There are probably more Java programmers out there than C++-ditto willing to delve into such a project (my personal favourite when it comes to translating, OmegaT, is written in Java, and is a very mature and stable product and keeps getting better). I know some people scoff at Java and won't allow it on their machines - well - I don't, it's used by the state and other official institutions, banks and so on for a security system here in Denmark, so there's really no way of getting on without it.

Anyway, with a Java authority like mr. Welenga (if he could be interested in this), it just might be possible to port Sigil's functionality to Java - and develop it further? - or am I being too optimistic?

Regards,

Kim
