Okay, I have a hypothesis about what might be causing this and it think the problem is on first start up, you are seeing a std::exception which is caught and handled in the very last couple of lines of main.cpp and not in the LoadFile routine. So I have adding handling that type of exception as well.

So on Windows, if you build your own and can grab the very very latest Sigil/src//MainUI/MainWindow.cpp from master and use it in your rebuild please do.

Then test the Dummy2.epub testcase by doubleclicking to launch it, and report back what you see.

I have my fingers crossed this now works as designed.

Thanks,

KevinH
