1. On your Desktop create a folder called "test" and copy an html file and its css file into it.
Done. /Desktop/test now contains only two files, a CSS, and an HTML

2. Fire up Sigil and verify that Sigil is using its default temp folder in Preferences
<SIGIL_DEFAULT_TEMP_HOME>

3. You should have an empty epub after Sigil starts up. Please do a file save as and tell it to write the epub to your Desktop folder to verify it has write permission there.
untitled.epub saved properly into /Desktop/test

4. Then use Sigil's Add Existing menu and navigate into the "test" folder on your Desktop created in step 1. Tell it to load the html file you copied there.
The HTML file loaded properly from /Desktop/test folder.
