That gives a distinct impression on Mac that Sigil has stalled.

It works on all Mac OS versions before the broken Tahoe. Not sure why Tahoe changed that.

In reality, the code is busy searching the enitire book for existing HTML TOC, and performing many other checks before that prompt and after it. If you had a test epub with hundreds and hundreds of files, you would see the need for the busy icon.

But as I already said, I can drop the busy icon right before the message box and restore it, so that this works on Tahoe too. It has been that way for over 5 years with no issues on any of my Macs. So it is only a Tahoe thing.

Update:

The fix to workaround the Tahoe issue with using a busy cursor has been pushed to master.
