Attn: the ducks :
I saw your sent image >> "A simple test" > (Attached Thumbnails > Sigil has encountered a problem).
How do I use that as a troubleshooting tool? (I'm green). Looks like it might help isolate the problem? (I'm referring to Sigil's unresponsive Save button, of course).
Also, I'm learning the terminology you guys use. Just want to verify: Is a lock on a file the same as a block (as in lock/block?) It's imperative that I get this right!
And ShellShock brought up something interesting as well. He asked: What does Sigil do if the file's 'Read Only' attribute is set? Could this be the problem?
Naturally, I immediately hunted for this illusive 'Read Only' setting on Sigil, but where it is I do not know. (Maybe under File?). Either I'm getting dumber or you select band of professors tote around great vats of Wisdom (details and all) unbeknownst to the free world! https://www2.mobileread.com/i/smilies/confused.gif
