No Sigil in 2011 simply ignored the incorrect mimetype and forced everything based on the file extension. This approach does not work for generic .xml files and some other files that can represent a number of possibly different media-types.

Sigil now, just like in web browsers treats the media type as important and that does determine how a file is displayed or processed.

I will change Sigil's code to look up the media-type from the manifest item and if that is not recognized, then (assuming the extension is not ".xml") look up the media-type via the file extension.

I will also hard code the bookpath to match the epub zip even if a file's type and mediatype are not recognized.

Thanks for testing.
