I'm not sure how that works with threaded mode, though. (just adding a quote from a separate "subthread" to check: ) EDIT: nope, it doesn't show the post as a reply... maybe that's something that can be fixed by the coding masters... Last edited by Jellby; 02-04-2013 at 07:42 AM. |

It doesn't, but it does. If you just type a new post, and quote from several, it does not show the replies in Threaded/whatever view. However, if you quote from one, and then c&p posts from other posts, and use the quote ICON, it seems to put multiple replies under the post to which you are replying, which seems very odd. Either that, or I've misunderstood it entirely. Which is possible. If Wolfie uses threaded view, I can see how he might find it vexing, but I'd rather reply to 2-3 people at once than type three replies, sorry to say. Hitch |

Same here. All day every day. Regardless of how it may work with threaded view, it always bugs me to see consecutive posts from the same user: one post per quote/reply. It looks cheesy in non-threaded view.

I'm a little late to this particular show, but I'm wondering where is the added value of an additional program that simulates a 6" screen? Isn't the whole point of reflowed text that it resists fixed-dimension formatting? As some else mentioned, there are a slew of other screen sizes available for consuming ebooks, from computer screens to tablets to smart phones. But even if there only existed one screen size for ebooks, every e reader I've seen allows the user to change font-sizes, and most allow the user to change the font-family. Indeed, It is exceedingly rare that I see two consecutive e-readers on the subway using the same display settings.
Now i understand the desire for at least some level of stylistic control (otherwise we'd all be making plain-text books), but you should be able to roughly approximate your ideal dimensions by fiddling with window sizes and text magnification in Sigil itself. But since you can't reliably predict what a potential readers display settings will be, there's really no need (as far as I can tell), to look for an exact replication of settings that you've arbitrarily deemed "standard". |

If you have used a table or various sizes of pictures, fancy drop caps or embedded fonts, it will become clear why Sigil is good only up to a certain point. Beyond that, it will need to be viewed in ADE or one of the viewer programs or a device.
Beyond that you will need to use epubcheck if it has footnotes because Flight Crew does NOT catch footnotes that aren't attached to a corresponding item, only duplicated ones. |
