Using "Open With" in Ubuntu

Rand Brittain · 09-24-2010, 01:17 PM

I'd like to set Sigil as the default choice for opening EPUB files in Ubuntu 10.04, but when I set "/opt/sigil/sigil.sh" as my special command, trying to open the file gets me an error. Possibly Sigil gets annoyed by paths that include spaces?

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Yeah. I've been meaning to start a thread or a bug report. Definitely a space in the path issue.

Using %20 in place of the space does not work? (my Ubuntu sys is off)

Yeah, I would like to able to do this too. In my Windows box, it's working fine, while in Ubuntu it shows error

This is fixed and will be in the next release.

Any estimate when we will get the next morsel (release) to chew on

Ah! Glad to hear it's fixed. Looking forward to the next release- Sigil has been very helpful in getting all the EPUBs I've found readable- so many people seem to love margins that take up half of my ereader with empty space.

I first need to get the epub validating library/application out the door. At least, that's the plan. Then I can work on Sigil in relative peace of mind.
