any interest in previewer plugin?
 

Given the complexity of epub viewers and designing epub3s, I was wondering if there is any interest in an output plugin called something like "Preview-In", that would make a copy of the current epub inside Sigil and pass it to a user selected epub reading app already installed on the user's system.

The plugn would unpack or epub up the contents and use python to load the calibre ebook-viewer, or ibooks, or azardi, or chrome with readium, or whatever viewer they specified locally, etc

Of course, this would only replace the eqivalent of a file-save-as and then manually launching an epub reader and then navigating to the just saved epub, so it may not be a big help. That said, it would more easily allow a full book visual inspection of book currently in Sigil.

Thoughts?

Something like calibre plugin open with would be nice. From my point of view I like to choose applications like ADE etc. to check ebooks.
