Some of my books made with Sigil (the stable version) are not opened by ADE. Later, it seems that my new reader uses ADE. And I have noticed that even the beta of Sigil can do that. From 5 different HTMLs I got 5 EPUBs. 2 of them work, 3 of them do not open. Well, the reader does show them in its list with proper author and title, yet the pagecount is 0.

Is there a way to restrict Sigil to a subset that can be understood by ADE?
Clearly running epub checking programs will likely find the problem but as a matter of course it would be nice if Sigil had a button that could launch a reader of the users choice. Sigil can't do very good job of testing the display of a document since it doesn't break it into pages. If the users reader of choice could be launched from inside Sigil then it would be easy to visually check some features. It would also let Sigil know the database was opened elsewhere so it wouldn't try and save it until the application was stopped.
