Thanks for reporting back. It is my understanding there was a packaging issue with the MacOS build - user_none suspected it might happen if you read the first post. Last I heard a plan is in place to change things for the next build - it isn't Sigil that is crashing as such, it just can't find the other libraries it needs to start.

How do I PM?

I will say that out of the approaching 4,000 downloads of this Sigil beta, other than some MacOS users as per above you are the one and only user who has reported a crash problem with this Sigil build.
If it isn't specific to the ePub/HTML you are loading, then it is specific to your machine and some conflict with something else on it. Have you tried it on a different machine - a laptop, a work machine or whatever? I've edited hundreds of EPUBs with this codebase daily over the last three months on both XP and Windows 7 64-bit, and every single crash I had we diagnosed and eliminated, the last of which happened over a month ago. Certainly I have never had anything like the behaviour you describe. Send us your files and do please try another machine, a virtual machine, safe mode etc.

There will be a new build very soon. There is more feature goodness that we sneaked in this week, some appearance tweaks from the feedback received, the couple of reported bugs have been fixed and it is has had some attention paid to performance in areas like tab closing and merging so it is smoking fast. Lots to look forward to.
