Along these lines, I have noticed some slightly confusing behavior by Sigil that might be related to the OP's grief:
If I open Sigil (just from the program icon, not by clicking on an existing epub) and then do a File->Open and choose an existing xhtml file and start doing some editing... when I later click File->Save, I immediately get the warning that; "Sigil currently cannot save files of type 'xhtml'. Please choose a different format." I then smack myself in the head and do a "File->Save as". I do this a
lot.
Maybe it's just me, but that seems a little awkward.
I know Sigil only saves epubs and that's exactly what I
wanted it to do, so why did it assume I wanted to save the single xhtml file I was editing (especially since Sigil isn't designed to do that anyway)? Shouldn't the default behavior be to silently switch to the "Save As" dialog if the current document/book/epub hasn't been saved yet?
Most apps are capable of knowing the initial project "Save" needs to be a "Save As"... regardless of which of the two options the user clicked.
Does that make any sense?
