Excellent. Really happy to hear that. I'll wait patiently for the next release then.

Well, that explains that. I have donated several times in the past but not for a while due to a bit of a dip in ressources, so I was suprised by the error message. I'll just renew my thanks and gratitude here then.

How do you typically launch Sigil/open epubs? Do you click a Sigil shortcut and browse for an epup to open? Or do you double-click an epub and rely on file associations to open the file with Sigil? What about calibre's "Open With" plugin?

I have a shortcut in my quick-launch bar to lauch Sigil but I rarely/never use it as I've set my file associations to open epubs with Sigil by default. I will investigate whether there are any old versions still installed with different preferences location (I can't imagine why I would have changed that manually though) or some random shortcut somewhere that might be causing havoc. I definitely don't have a portable version installed, and I don't use Calibre's "Open with" plugin (from inside Calibre, clicking on the file in the library view will open the book in Calibre's ebook reader, and clicking on the "open" link in the properties panel will open the book's directory).
Tex2002ans, I do eventually manage to get my clips back, but I have not managed to figure out a sure way to do it (it does usually involved closing Sigil, all instances if there are more than one open, but sometimes opening a recent file will do it), and likewise I have not figured out exactly what causes the problem. Most of the time it seems to depend on whether the file was originally created with the latest version, but earlier today I was working on a new file which had the clips, then I opened an older file next to it to check something and my new file lost the clips (they had been there previously). I frequently have 2 or 3 instances open at the same time though as you mentioned, is it possible that could cause a conflict? It's a real mystery. I'm sort of glad to know I'm not the only one it happens to though.
