Does Sigil need a Big Green Publish Button?

Hi All,

Does Sigil, sometime in the future, need something like a big green "Publish" button that would:

- regenerate the Nav, and any html TOC
- automatically run Mend and Prettify on all code
- update all manifest properties in the OPF
- add in the NCX/Guide for backwards compatibility with older EPUB2 only readers
- add in missing xml:lang, lang, and titles
- add in missing Aria roles
- add in accessibility metadata
- verify no errors from epubcheck
- verify no errors from ACE
- do the equivalent of a save-as to a "Completed Works" folder.
- and finally remove all its previously created checkpoints in the repo

Perhaps then we could add a Publish Preferences setting dialog that would allow you to indicate which of these steps you want to use, the path to the "Completed Works" folder and etc.

Would something along those lines be useful?
