Hello!
This is in the line of a 'feature request'. Sigil has a very useful feature to open images externally for editing. My trouble is that I am usually sending pictures to any of three different programs:
- Irfanview, for batch resizing/converting to greyscale most illustrations in the epub
- Gimp, to fine-touch a particular illustration
- Inkscape to modify a SVG illustration (changing colors/mispelled text can be done easily from Sigil, but try to modify a path!)
Of course, one can
- click `Open with -> Some other apllication...´--and change back on next use
or
- open always with Irfanview, which lets one choose between THREE different predefined editors to send to...
And why doesn't Sigil? It would hardly be a mayor change, please?
Thanks!
