EDIT: Correction, Qt 4.6 has been released TODAY. EDIT2: Qt now officially supports Snow Leopard. Hell yeah. Sigil v0.1.6 should now take a bit longer, since I need to make sure everything works with the new version. Quote:
This should all work a lot like the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio. You can track this issue here. Any and all help is appreciated. Last edited by Valloric; 12-01-2009 at 02:33 PM. |

Your Sigil 0.13 binary is probably in /opt. In my case, the problem was that Sigil's binary for 0.13 was in /opt and 0.15 was trying to create a "sigil" folder in the same place, hence the install issue I was experiencing. I deleted the 0.13 binary and 0.15 was happy.

Mac OSX Speed issues
Hi,
Thanks for you reply. I will download the new Qt 4.6 for Mac OSX and give it a test run to see if it helps anything (speedwise) on MacOSX. Also, thanks for pointing me at your auto-split issue set for version 0.2.0. I have bookmarked it and when I finally get up to speed on all of your code, I may try to help out during my free time by submitting bug fix patches for things that are not of immediate importance (i.e minor nits) One trick I have used to find large html auto-split points is to use Tidy to move everything to strict xhtml, enclose text, and indent text (--doctype strict, --enclose-text yes -i ). Finding a good split point, then is reduced down to reading and counting entire lines and when a limit is reached simply look for the next line that is NOT indented by Tidy (not in any other block element) and use that as a split point. This keeps you from splitting inside paragraphs or blocks of text. This seems to work well in most e-books I have tried it with. So for 0.2.0 instead of having users insert their own chapter breaks when loading a large html file, instead show a small "preview" of the book (like a Print Preview mode in Excel where you get to assign page breaks) with auto split points marked ala the above via Tidy and have them okay or move the split points, as the first step. The nice thing is that using indents from Tidy means, I do not have to walk the entire file keeping track of open tags to find the best points to break (tidy does that), all I look at is the element indent level (simply count leading spaces before the next element begins) to decide where to split. Thanks for all of your hard work on Sigil! KevinH |

I don't know how much you know about Mercurial DVCS (which Sigil uses), but here's a great place to start. Quote:
A lot of this comes from not wishing to blast the user with a large amount of options and configuration when he just wants to get some regular work done. Book Designer is a great example of an application that literally frightens users away with hundreds of buttons and configurations. But I'm digressing. Discussions like this have literally filled books (those are but a few). Thanks for your interest in Sigil. As I've said, all help is welcome. Be it suggestions, bug reports or patches (or something different). |
