Data loss in 0.9.5 on OS X (El Capitan)
On 0.9.5 I'm running into a problem I haven't seen before. (And I do have the latest ActiveTcl installed.) Occasionally (and unpredictably) when saving a file, it loses its resources. Images (some but not all), fonts, even the whole META-INF folder.
Sometimes Sigil replaces the files in the epub with 0-byte empty files. And after that happens, the 0-byte files can't be deleted using the interface—it says it deletes them, but they're still there. And if I try to add a file with the same name, it says I can't add it because it already exists. (Yet if I look at the structure of the zipfile, those 0-byte files do not exist.)
The epub can then be opened back up in Sigil and the 0-byte files are gone, and I can put the missing resources back. But this is a pain, and I usually just end up restoring the epub from a backup.
The data loss has happened twice in the last week, on two separate files.
