Please try repeating the test above but this time copy and paste your "test" folder to someplace inside the NEW location you were using for your testing that caused crashes earlier.
- Done: copied /Desktop/test into the NEW folder creating NEW/test.

Then repeat the test above but in step 3 try to save-as the untitled.epub to the parent folder now holding the "test" folder.
- I think what this means is to load CSS and HTML files from /Desktop/test and try to save the epub to the NEW folder.
- HTML and CSS files loaded and rendered.
- Save as into test folder's parent folder resulted in the error message and details listed in a previous post.
Sigil has encountered a problem.
Sigil may need to close.

And in step 4 try to add existing from the new location of the "test" folder.
- From ../NEW/test
- HTML and CSS files loaded and rendered.
- Save as into ../NEW/test resulted in error message and details as above.
- Sigil closed after dismissing the popup.
