As for sticking with 0.7.2, I did the same thing myself for quite a while. A little weirdness crept in with 0.7.3/4 with regard to missing doctypes and the handling of non-breaking space characters upon opening.
That one you downloaded LOOKS like it might have been one of mine (going by naming convention and file size; I'd have to crack it open to be sure) but it appears to be a 32-bit version. You mentioned you needed/wanted the 64-bit version. Could that have been the problem? With my packages, you should be able to launch by typing sigil in a terminal window. That should give you more info about what is going wrong than launching from the application menu.

Thanks Diap, but I think I may be ready to move up to the latest version. I was in the middle of using 0.7.2 when I heard about the non-breaking space stuff with the newer versions, and so very determined to keep what I have. But now I just got a newer computer and I'm not using Sigil at the moment so it'll be a good time to make the move. I think. lol Is 0.8.5 much better than 0.7.2? (And I don't want to get left too far behind.)
Your method of installing looks really easy. Where do I put the downloaded Sigil file though? Or is it being in the Downloads folder sufficient?
Thanks and sorry about the indecision and possible shifting gears.
