MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Sigil's Infamous "colon" Error on File Split

@Toxaris...Yes indeed I have known about this problem for ages. Just to also add that I knew about this fault years ago -- even before I knew about the existence of MobileRead forum. Why should I be able to report bugs when there is no link or clear reference for reporting bugs in the Sigil app? I'm talking about a newbie using Sigil here, not about developers.

The mistake you made was to rashly assume that everyone knows how to report Sigil bugs on MobileRead forum or Git. Really? How is it possible for any newbie(who is not a developer) using Sigil to report a bug when there is no clear and obvious path within the Sigil app for doing so?

Another tentative Sigil change request for KevinH. Could a direct link be put into Sigil's Help menu -- perhaps called 'Report Bugs' -- so that people can easily report Sigil bugs and problems? Hopefully this will satisfy Toxaris's unreasonable impatience concerning people's lateness in reporting bugs.
