Okay, for those who are interested in Automation, I have created a work-in-progress of implementing Automation Lists like plugins with their own top level Automation menu with "Manage", "Run", "Edit" submenus that are dynamically built on the fly, along with converting the Automate tool bar buttons in QuickLaunch buttons you can assign to any list.

All of this is a very invasive change. It seems to me to place way too much energy and time into Automate Lists that are generally little to not used by most people. I was okay when it was just a toolbar icon, but this makes it a full fledged top level Automation menu with dynamic naming of Automation Lists possible as some people have requested.

If you want these changes as a new feature in an upcoming version of Sigil, I will need to hear from you.

For those who build your own, I have pushed this work in progress version of Sigil to my personal repo into the master branch:

https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Sigil

Please pull from there and build it and please provide feedback. Is this overkill? Should we tone this down to something much simpler (say just limit to 5 lists and not allow dynamic naming)?

Happy to hear pros and cons from anyone here.

I have built a Mac arm64 version of this and posted that build if anyone is interested. My Windows build is down, and since this is in my personal repo, we do not have access to CI builds. If anyone else makes a Window builds to share I will post it, too.

Here is a link to a Sigil.app Beta:

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

Grab Sigil.app-beta-Mac-arm64.tar.xz (it is signed and notarized)

And DNSB has nicely donated his Windows build which I have posted to my BuildSigilOnMac repo (same link above) as:

Sigil-beta-Windows-x64-Setup.exe

So please give it a try and let me know your feelings one way or the other.
