0.4.0 is truly inspiring to work with after all my problems with .3.4; today I made a mistake and used < instead of > and also made several other errors - all were quickly caught by Sgil (with Tidy off, always!) with the option to manually fix. Sigil is now what I had hoped for over such a long time. Great work!

I've finally had two issues with the out-of-sequencing occuring in short order, and neither is reliably reproducible nor seems to provide any clues. One occurred in a short story--for no apparent reason (no drag-n-drop was used whatsoever), two chapters were simply moved completely out of sequence, not together, but separately. On a much longer file, when I was editing it (had originally been done in Sigil 0.3x), and I renamed the initial html file to a cover.xhmtl filename, it simply disappeared altogether. I mean, just WHAMMO, vapored, not at the time it was renamed, but later, and the ncx entry with it. The chapter/file reordering seems to be utterly unrelated to any attempts to a) add files, as I've had it happen when none were added or b) reordering files, as I've now had it happen when none were reordered, but that one was renamed. When I created a new cover page, and drag-and-dropped it to the top of the file, it did incorrectly order, AGAIN, and show up somewhere near the bottom of the list.
It's a real problem, and it's a shame, because I adore Sigil 0.4.x for so many other useful reasons. Of course, we don't use betas for production, but I have been trying it, and it's
really not ready for primetime. V knows that no criticism is intended herein, but it's bloody buggy.
