Mhm. That's interesting. What I love about Sigil is that it's so fast. The changes (at least so far what I've been doing) are instant, and I'm working on a mid-class 8yr old laptop. I am also doing most of the work in Book mode.
I first tried Dreamweaver and hated it. The UI is so small you can't see where or what any of the tools are, and the Preview mode (equal to Book mode in Sigil) is unbearably slow. Plus it crashed frequently. After fooling with it for a day, I gave it up along with the headache it gave me.
I had installed Sigil a few yrs back but hadn't used it yet. When I tried it I was so impressed! So responsive, easy to navigate and can even edit in Preview without any lag.
But that's a great tip about using the Find command to get where you need to go when the files are split. I wouldn't have thought of that. Sharp as a bunny, quick as a tack.
