Hi Odamizu,
New image names means any reuse of the image in other chapters means we now have two images. New image file names also makes tracking the image file binaries back through their history on github next to impossible and it makes it harder to revert to earlier versions on github if needed for any reason.
And yes doing 1 or 2 chapters at a time in the future would be wonderful! Hopefully many will not need much text updating given the new images.
In fact, the two chapters you chose to start with probably have the biggest text changes!
Thanks!
Kevin

In order that I can learn Sigil better, I just now loaded the original User Guide into Sigil and used AddExisting to replace the old User Interface html file with my new html file. Sigil brought in all the new images with their new filenames automatically. I then used Tools > Delete Unused Media files to delete the old images with the old filenames.
It seemed to work successfully. How is keeping the old filenames better? (other than not having to delete the old images)
Also, as long as my slow speed is not an issue, I will probably be willing to take on more chapters after I finish Preferences. I just don't want to commit to too many chapters at one time. Better to take it one or two chapters at a time
