BTW, I belong to a small community of editors. We make books using templates (created with previous versions, as usual, all with .xhtml).
With 0.60, we will have to update all of them!
In addition, we have external collaborators who continue using previous versions of Sigil (even 0.34, with old PCs)... Can you imagine the problem of working between versions? 
Please, please, at least put an option to choose the new/split sections' extension! It would be perfect for us! |
We'll consider how to address this in a future version.
However, whether your files end in .xhtml or .html do not affect how they are displayed by ereaders, so you do not need to change the extension (although I understand that you might want the extension to be the same for all files).
When creating a new section, Section001.html is always created if it doesn't already exist. You can of course rename it or bulk rename all files (but as you said this just changes their name not the extension).
