Major bug needs fixing!

JSWolf · 09-21-2011, 06:32 PM

I am trying to delete a LOT of files from an ePub. The problem is that at random spots, it just stops deleting. I get the requester to delete the file, but it still shows in the book browser pane. Is this something that can be given a priority fix for 0.4.2?

I just went to save the file after Sigil stopped deleting and it crashed. It did not corrupt or change the ePub.

Same eBook, if I use the meta editor and then save, it crashes. But if I manually put the medatdata in the OPF by hand via Sigil, it saves fine.

Have a look there :

See if a issue have been created, else, create one.

If this is all happening with a single ebook then my first guess would be that there's something going on in the structure or the opf that the code hasn't anticipated and can't handle correctly. We'd need to see the epub itself (create an issue on the tracker that we can mark as private then you can upload the book without others seeing it), or at least see the opf before its opened in Sigil.
