Hi Ryn,

Huge numbers of crashing bugs have been fixed since 0.7 in Qt and some in Sigil. So crashes on closing windows was common in earlier versions since earlier Qt had issues with memory corruption especially on Mac OS X.

I can not get my build to crash using the close all windows but I am on Yosemite.

So using only Sigil-0.9.1 on Mac OS X, if you can get this to crash, please generate the crash report and copy its contents to a text file (no need to send it to Apple) and post it either here or pm me with it. Include information about your use of BV or Preview and even a epub (non-commericial) that causes the problem and steps to create it.

Thanks!

KevinH

Especially on "large" books, with many xhtml files and many images. Once it has happened, sigil *seems* more prone to crashing on restarts, until a full system reboot. Would be nice if this could be addressed.

One more thing, in 9.1 the TOC dialogue box has a different response to the "enter" key. It used to be easy to generate a TOC and close the dialogue by pressing the enter key; now the enter key allows you to change the title for the first TOC entry, which subtly screws with my workflow. But I'll find a way around it, if I'm the only one for whom this is a minor annoyance.
