Kevin, thanks so much for that detailed update. While I am not a programmer it's interesting to hear the summation and I do get the gist. It will be interesting to see if the new Sigil code works around the Qt bug. Of course I would be happy to test the new release when available.
Will the new release be on the normal Sigil update site, or will this be a beta I should look for elsewhere? Any inkling at all of the timeline on when I might find it available? (I'll be setting a Stickie to remind myself to check for it every few days, as if it won't be available soon I might have moved beyond the Sigil-related stage of this project.)
I will use the same project for testing, going through the same motions. Just to make sure nothing on my end changes.
BTW I worked placing more images last night for several hours with nary a problem. Disabling thumbnails DEF eliminates the processes that cause the problem. It also makes the insert file window pop open much faster. This entire thing was worth it for that alone. Even once it's fixed I will be leaving thumbnails off, myself. (Then again this project has 155 images associated with it. It would probably open thumbnails much faster with a normal project using a handful of images.)
Again, many thanks, Kevin!
