Hi

Forgive me if this information lies already somewhere. I am a Sigil fan but I like the calibre Editor because it provides some additional and very nice features. OTOH some features are also missing in the Editor. Today, I begin to modify my EPUB with Sigil and then end it and validate it with the Editor. Sigil then the Editor, in this particular order as I had been advised.

When calibre's Editor will be able to do everything, I'll totally switch to it.

Missing features

For me, the following three are the most important:

1- Metadata editor
One exists in calibre, but not in the Editor. A basic tool but quite useful.

2- Saved clips and searches.
This is a very handy Sigil feature that I really need everyday several times.

3- Spellchecker
Sigil has a very nice spellchecker, precious for proper nouns (it gives the number of occurrences of every mispelled name and can deal with typographical apostrophe).

My question is: do these missing features are planned to be implemented with calibre's Editor? The question of When? comes also to mind, but this is in fact secundary.
