The old Open With calibre plugin has had issues launching Sigil on Windows and Linux at different times in the past (the issue was
always present, but calibre and Sigil inadvertently shared compatible Qtplugin dlls for long periods of time, so the problem was rarely noticed).
The old calibre Open With plugin has recently (relatively recently, anyway) incorporated the method used by calibre's built-in Open With feature for properly launching external programs on Windows. It makes sure the newly launched process's environment has been sanitized.
No one's saying don't ever launch Sigil from calibre. Kevin's just trying to eliminate extraneous data for the purpose of debugging
this issue. Many's the time in the past that we've worked for days on an issue only to find out:
"Oh I'm sorry ... you didn't know I was using an external python/pyqt5 program to launch your Qt program (which was in turn launching its own external python environment to launch a third-party plugin) when it was crashing?"
