So, Ducks:

That would be a "no," then? As in, not really? ;-)

Look, killing off the html import would have major suckage, and all of us--big, little, ammie, pro, etc.--all rely heavily on a) regex, which can't have regexus interruptus with an "auto-save"--and b) knowing that we can count on Sigil, sometimes infuriatingly so, to tell us when our ePUBs aren't well-formed.

Keeping the html import as-is is very important to my gang, as Cap said. A lot of our macros, scripts, PERL bits (everyone has their own shtick) etc., use that as a step, and we'd all hate to re-write it/them. I have NO problem with an auto-prompt telling someone that they can't save html, which I honestly thought used to exist, or maybe I'm misremembering.

FWIW,
Hitch
