Feature requests:

Filenames with spaces cause epubcheck to complain, and they are potentially troublesome.
So an option to change all filename spaces to underscores?
Quite tedious to do by hand with a few dozen files.

"Mend XHTML Source Code" -- can this be made to convert Windows-1252/ANSI html files to UTF-8?
HTML with that encoding that displays perfectly in a browser comes though with garbage characters if imported to Sigil normally, even if it's correctly described in the header.

How about a warning if undefined classes are applied in the HTML? Often from typos or missing definitions.

Also regarding these automated fixes:

-- Trims the epub stylesheet(s) - removes any unneeded or redundant class properties from the css
I like to snoop through interesting new stylesheets, and I can then use the Sigil tool to strip them if I want to.

-- Removes all html tags that are empty or that contain just spaces
These are often in a file because a linespace was intended. So after spotting these I often use them to modify the html, e.g. convert the following tag to one with "margin-top: 2em", for example.

So my preference is these be reported, but fixing them be made optional.
