Hi All,

For those interested in this potential feature, I have created builds of Sigil 2.4.0 Beta-1 with this "use checkboxes for the Replacement Chooser/Filter instead of delete" change in place.

I have posted these demo builds in my personal github repository here:

https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Bu...OnMac/releases

They are called:

Sigil.app-2.4.0-Beta-1-Mac-arm64.tar.xz
Sigil.app-2.4.0-Beta-1-Mac-x86_64.tar.xz

and my first ever attempted Windows installer build - made on a Manjaro Linux box running a virtualbox VM of Windows 11.

It is named:

Sigil-2.4.0-Beta-1-Windows-x64-Setup.exe

I would very much love to hear feedback on the success or failure with my first Windows build from anyone who tries it.

Then to test the new feature open any epub you have, enable Find and Replace choose All HTML Files, and of course put something in Find and Replace, and when ready use SHIFT (held down) and click on the Replace All button.

This should fire up the new Replacement Chooser that uses a CheckBox instead of the older one that made you delete unwanted replacements before applying it.

You should be able to do contiguous selections and then use the Enter and/or Return keys to toggle bunches of Checkboxes at will, or double click on a single entry to toggle the current checkbox on or off.

Feedback by testers here will determine if this newer Replacement Chooser will replace the older one in our next release.

These should be fully useable versions of Sigil 2.4.0 (although Beta).

Thanks in advance for any testers!
