What's the use case for (a)? When would you be adding lots of files to a presumably already existing book at once? Note that at some point there will be a tool to auto-create a new book from an existing html file. (it will work just like the html-to-zip conversion that happens when you import html into calibre itself.

b) Not familiar with that. You mean have a way to automatically insert the <link> tag into selected html files, referring to the selected stylesheets?

d) This is rather complex to implement, since drag and drop is used for re-ordering the spine. Having it also work for importing files could become confusing.
a. The way Sigil allows multiple files to be added is very convient since the user might have many images, 2-3 stylesheets, and 4-8 font files. I (for example) use Sigil to make ebooks readable on my Kindle by replacing the original fonts, and using my style sheets

b. Right click one or more documents in the file window, and then select the style sheet(s). Sigil will delete or replace the <link> 's as well add new ones

d. Yes, I like re-ordering the spine. Maybe if you could allow one or more files to be dropped onto the [Add Files] button. Font files go to the /Fonts folder, etc. with html files going to the bottom???

Thanks again
