I talked about using brackets a cross platform text editor for web design for working with epub files it's really nice feature is that it opens a page in chrome where you can see exactly where something needs changing also the web developer options in chrome are also pretty handy too. You can select an element in the epub see the rules affecting it alter the values and if you like it go to the css file line number and change it in the actual css file.

@blackest...Well, if all you want is an easier way to use the Brackets app in Sigil, you could perhaps right click on any xhtml file in Sigil and just choose
Open With. Set the Brackets path as your preferred outside app and the selected file will be automatically opened in Brackets from within Sigil. Sigil will also remember your preferred outside app. I sometimes do this for DreamWeaver and you can also save any changes made with your outsde app directly back to the selected file in Sigil. Doing it this way will also make it easier for you because it means that you don't have to frig about converting stuff to and from zip format because it's all done inside Sigil. You could also perhaps use the Chrome app in exactly the same way from within Sigil by using Open With.
To be honest with you, if all you want is an editable HTML view, then why don't you just use Sigil's inbuilt HTML editor? In Sigil you can button toggle between HTML View(editor) and Book View(editor) with just one click -- so there's no need to always use Chrome to test, just check the html file in Book View. You can also set the Preview pane -- this also gives an Elements and Resources view similar to Chrome. You can also automatically mend and prettify the code with just one click which gives a better-spaced html view which makes it much easier to work on the html code. What I'm saying is: Why are you zipping and unzipping files, using Brackets and using Chrome and doing all sorts of complicated time-wasting stuff when you can do it all -- with a much easier and faster workflow -- in Sigil ?
