@stumped

One thing I noticed from your posted sigil.ini file was that you were reading from, and when saving, writing inside of the "Calibre Library" folder.

> lastfolderopen=C:/Users/dad/Documents/Calibre Library/Val McDermid/Splinter the Silence (4962)

I am not sure this is a good idea. I don't do this. Does Calibre want to completely control everythign in the Calibre Library folder? Does it allow changes to be made underneath? Is that epub open inside Calibre in any way at the same time?

So would you please try exporting that epub to be edited outside of Calibre to someplace safe. Then with the new exported copy, run Sigil on it and see if the crash still happens.

Does anyone else regularly run Sigil on Files directly in Calibre Library?
