Hello,
I didn't find a better place to post these bugs so i'll post them here.
I am currently using Sigil 0.6.2 on a PC Windows 8.
Bugs:
- Bug 1: In later versions than the one I am using when I work on epubs, switching from code view to book view the program crashes "Sigil has stopped working". It happens in many books on many systems I have tried. The only version that does not crash is 0.6.2 (this fix has been suggested on other forums I have encountered)
- Bug 2:When adding any file to the ePub package the .opf file gets scrambled. I have a lot of metadata and html <!--> notes, all the notes go up, all the metadata goes down (between the metadata tags) and some gets deprecated for some reason. So fix this I simply copy all the opf text before I add any file to the package.
- Bug 3: When adding aside tags for footnotes you have to use epub:type="footnote" and epub:type="noteref", then Sigil will give you an error about namespace "xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops". Please make it so that when ever aside tags are used that namespace is added automatically.
- Bug 4: I am writing Hebrew ePubs (right-to-left) and there is no way to move the heading of the footnote in aside to the right side, is there?
that being said, any CSS applied to the aside tag in the CSS file is not applied in the ebook readers. You have to put them in the HTML markup.
- Bug 5: version="3.0" is never accpeted with the validator.
- Bug 6: YouTube video embedding never worked no matter what.
I realize some of these bugs are not a Sigil bug, nevertheless, these are bugs that I was hoping someone might have found a workaround and perhaps a future bug fixes will be available.
Thanks,
Oded
