Do any of those sound familiar?
And might I suggest that when you DO get Sigil updated this time, you document the process somewhere so we don't have guess which it was every few Sigil releases?  |
Yes--LOL--I built Sigil from scratch. (I needed a challenge.) But seriously, I remember
a long time ago getting
an updated version from your installer (it was easy) but I'm not sure it was 9.8. In fact, I doubt it. Can I have gotten 9.8 from Synaptic Package Manager?
Okay, will document this time. (
If I update. I'm not so sure now I'm going to. Notjohn was talking about the bug in Preview panel (clicking on a word there no longer syncs the Code view). 9.8 has been working marvelously well for me. Maybe I stay there for a while?) What do I gain or lose (roughly) by going to 9.9? to 9.10? I do pretty ordinary stuff, just text (a novel), TOC and a few images.
Oh, and a friend said I should stick with whatever Xubuntu gives me when Xubuntu upgrades, which I think will be in 2020. He said stick with what's in the "official repos." (I don't know if Sigil gets automatically upgraded when Xubuntu does. I did look in Synaptic Package Manager and this is what I found. (attachment))
Thanks! Sorry about all the parentheses. Kind of went wonko with them.
