I don't think it is worth the effort to bring back support for calibre default icons.

Makes sense. Is there a way for me to pull a copy of the icons from Calibre to load as custom?

Ah ha! I think I just got intimidated by all the options in that action, so I wasn't sure if it could be that simple.

That is interesting! I shall have to look into it at some point, but right now, I have a fair amount of automation set up in Sigil. It's just the TagMechanic plugin that I wish could have saved sets of options. But it does do a nice job of searching out tags without my having to make a regex that properly accounts for the opening and closing tag syntax.
Thanks!
Another question: Is there a way to disable an Action Chains menu item if no book is selected? I thought maybe I could test a basic template tag like title for a value, but it seems like the template functions are hanging on to the most recently selected book, even if nothing is selected in the current view. For instance, I have an chain that calls up the metadata view for a book via Calibre Actions. Sometimes I do something beforehand that unselects the books in the view, but I forget and when I run this chain, I get an error about nothing being selected. Just hoping to avoid that.
