Also, if you press F2, Sigil will open the current HTML file in PageEdit, if you've configured PageEdit as your preferred HTML editor.
If you enable the Preview window, resize it and drag it next to the Code View window, Sigil behaves pretty much like older versions.

If you still want to spend money on a commercial epub editor, you might want to check out the trial versions of Atlantis Word Processor and Jutoh. Both are much cheaper than the Sigil ripoff that Vibosoft sells.
If someone really HAS TO HAVE Bookview, then get Atlantis. It's the easiest transition from a word-processor, as it IS a word processor and then you can edit in "book view."

Isn't using Sigil in a commercial product against the T&C for it? Isn't that what was set from the jump? I realize that nobody is going to sue, all things considered, but it's a shame. Ridiculous that someone will PAY for an older version of FREE sigil, just because they're afraid of losing Bookview and their ability to screw up the HTML by typing therein.
