Hello. I have Sigil 1.4.2 installed on MacOS 10.15.7.

I'm trying to edit this book for work. Initially, it got an error that a file was not present (an iTunes playlist) and would beachball after I clicked close.

I used calibre to open the file and remove the playlist file and save it again, but Sigil still won't open it. I was trying to confirm that it is indeed fixed layout, which is apparently stored as a piece of metadata, but not one that calibre seems to show me.

So I wanted to both report the issue and see if anyone would know how I might check the format. It seems FXL because when I open it in Books and resize the window the ratio stays the same?
