This one is BetterRed bullt. The Alienware I bought a few weeks ago was the first brand computer I've bought for myself (bought many thousands of PCs for former employers - Dell, HP, IBM, Compaq etc etc - also IBM mainframes, HP, Sun, DEC mini's etc)
I'll install sigil on the Alienware box (may have already done it) and see if it happens there - its brand new and hardly used, but most of the software I've put on it is the same as this machine, its for a colleague to use in next few months, she starts on Monday.
Disabling shell extensions, is not a solution for me as there are none I would forego for the sake of a Sigil bug. I don't have anything on my computers that I don't use. First thing I did to the Alienware box was remove the Dell bloat and install retail Windows.
I'll implement a procedural solution - preselect the files and drop links to them on the desktop and import them from there. It works fine. Can files be dragged and dropped into there respective folders - that would probably suit my colleague better.
@
DiapDealer - my reaction was to what I perceived to be a somewhat dismissive response -- 'well, don't use right click then' -- without offering a workaround. Which I have now addressed - preselect the files before importing into Sigil.
