Sigil 0.9.5 breakes some of my epubs
Hi all,

I just stumbled on a problem using sigil on some of my epubs.
Please - can someone look into this and tell me if it's only me or a bug in sigil?

Sigil 0.9.5
Windows 10 (64)
I use both - sigil and calibre.

Usually I edited my books with sigil first and they got the sigil-wanted internal folder structure.
If I later used calibre on these books, calibre didn't care about sigil's wishes and sometimes inserted additional files and folders outside the sigil-given folders. But that's OK, because everything is linked properly and the books validate with epubcheck.

Problem: if I now open these books with sigil 0.9.5 again, sigil does it's usual I-sort-everything-my-way thing and rearranges the calibre-inserted files in it's own folder-structure; but it apparently misses to update the links! So I get broken epubs ...
I managed to produce an example-book. It's one of my problem-books (obfuscated for copyright-reasons).

By the way: on my older computer I use win 7 and sigil 0.7.2.
Sigil 0.7.2 doesn't have that problem - it updates all links. I tested my example-book with both sigil-versions:
open with sigil 0.7.2 - book OK.
open with sigil 0.9.5 - book broken.

For the moment I stick with using sigil 0.7.2 on these books - but maybe someone can look into that problem?

Thanks
Klecks.
