I gave it a quick spin this morning, Kovid. Works great, save as function works fine, fast enough for me. Tested out editor font, also works, too, though first time I tried it, it didn't seem to take, but the second and third times it was fine. I think I am trying with similar fonts so can't see difference. Switched to sans serif and change is clear.

Did a regex search and replace and that worked fine too.

Only request I would have because of way I work is to be able to get to it without opening a file in the calibre library or putting the book into the library. I have never used the library myself. But if that doesn't work for you it is no bigee for me. I have figured out how to get the books into or out of the library.

Thank you very much for coming up with so rapidly and doing it so well. At this stage of Sigil development it was so slow as to be almost unusable. I am sure it will be of great benefit to the calibre user who can stay in a familiar environment when they just need to change a thing or two in their book.

It is now positioned to handle the inevitable, but not necessarily desirable, transition to epub3 or whatever other format comes down the pike.

Excellent!
