Hi, I don't miss the Book View because I simply do not update beyond 0.9.14... It does not bother me using 1 year older version yet, but I’m afraid in time it will.
It is unnecessary to talk about using Preview instead, because it is something else.
People are used to work in WORD Print Layout mode, imagine that MS would decide to get rid of it: Dear users, the Print Layout mode sucks… we will no more support it, we will never bring it back. Since this new version you will have to use the Draft mode, if you want you can open the Print Preview Page…
DiapDealer, the Book View is similar and by removing it you’ve downgraded your excellent program. Do you realize that downgrading things does not advance the civilisation...?
In one of your answers you told us:
...Book View sucked. Maintaining it sucked, updating it sucked, and finding workarounds for everything that it broke sucked. Every new feature envisioned had to jump through convoluted hoops just to make sure Book View didn't blow it all up. That sucked. Everything about it sucked. So we chucked it...
When something sucks it is often not because the idea was wrong. Fixing it to the perfection is called the challenge, and if you love developing this program and it is your hobby, the challenge must be something you should welcome!
In new versions of Sigil there are some unneeded features often added which not many users need, on the other hand removing a feature which was there from beginning, important to many, many users, perhaps the majority, is quite shortsighted…
You should realize that.
