-- using Sigil .9.13 "legacy" on XP
Regarding the "open with" right-click options:
With an image selected in the file list, I can right-click on the filename to get "open with" and choose an app I have previously used.
But if I right-click in the image panel, I get the "Open with" list; the apps I have previously used to open images are listed, but all greyed out and I cannot choose them. The only choice is "Other application". I can choose an app there, but though it joins the list, it is also grey and next time I still have to find it with "Other application".
Also, there is no way to remove or change the names of apps on the "open with" list through the GUI. (I made a typo in the name of an app I added, wanted to correct it.)
Looking in the ini file I find
Code:
[open_with]
editor_image=D:/IrfanView/i_view32.exe
editor_description_image=Irfanview
editor_html=D:/Uedit/uedit32.exe
editor_description_html=uedit32
editor_font=C:/WINDOWS/system32/fontview.exe
editor_description_font=fontview
editors_image=Photoshp\x1f\x44:/Photoshop/Photoshp.exe, Photoshop\x1f\x44:/Photoshop/Photoshp.exe, Irfanview\x1f\x44:/IrfanView/i_view32.exe
editors_font=fontview\x1f\x43:/WINDOWS/system32/fontview.exe
So I deleted that and started again. After rechoosing my image apps, the INI now has
Code:
[open_with]
editors_html=Ultraedit\x1f\x44:/Uedit/uedit32.exe
editors_image=Photoshop\x1f\x44:/Photoshop/Photoshp.exe, Irfanview\x1f\x44:/IrfanView/i_view32.exe
Now only "editors_" entries. Were the "editor_" and "description" ones relics of an older version?
At least the format is fairly clear.
I could paste in the old editors_font line and that worked.
But still all options on r-click are grey when starting from the image pane.
Meanwhile; for html files, I have an "open with" list from the file list, but no "open with" at all in the text pane. That seems inconsistent.
Regarding fonts, while I can choose (in Windows) fontview.exe to open them and get a preview, there is nothing shown in the editing or preview pane when a font file is selected. I know nil about Qt, but there seem to be widgets to preview fonts. That would be useful, to show the file size and basic specs of the font as well as some glyphs.
