Kovid, perhaps you missed the bit where Valloric said "Sigil [...] will generate the guide element on export"
I think it's a good point that not all ePubs will have this guide element, and it would be great if Calibre provided a work-around for this case. |

I'm absolutely shocked you said something like this Kovid. I really am. |

But if he's going to get angry over this, then I'll just help out and he can sulk. I'm not going to go into a pissing contest over an XML element. EDIT: I still don't see any need for anyone to get angry here. I mean WTH I still can't fathom the turn this thread took. Last edited by Valloric; 08-05-2009 at 05:38 PM. |

Sorry about that, I'm having a rough day and this seems like such a trivial thing that I am amazed we ended up going 18 rounds over it. I just didn't expect to have to spend hours arguing over it.
As for getting Sigil and calibre to co-operate I'm all for it. In fact I have been planning to add a button to the calibre GUI to launch Sigil with the EPUB in the calibre database (making for a convenient workflow). With regards to that, I have some ideas about IPC I'd like to hash out with you, but perhaps over email. Just PM me your email address. |

I honestly didn't see it as an argument. Honestly. I saw it as a polite discussion, like any number of others I've had the privilege of participating in here on MobileRead. Quote:
And just for the record so nothing is left lingering... I've never had anything but the utmost respect for you Kovid. You have single-handedly made the whole e-book market pleasant for the everyday user. I personally would have never bought an ebook reading device if it weren't for calibre and your efforts. |

Cool, this thread is closed. And I apologize once again for my rudeness. And calibre is much more than my single handed effort. All I can really take credit for is getting it going. It now has a life of its own, as evidenced by the declining percentage of code I commit to it

Sigil can do what Book Designer did which was take the first page as a cover. And if the first page is blank ([age break with nothing in front of it), Sigil can then take that as there is no cover.

Jellby, Kovid and I are working through email on making this (and more) happen. Please don't poke this thread, leave it to die.
