Upgrading from 074 to 080
Hi,

i would like to install the 080 Win64 Version of Sigil, currently i'm using 074 Win32. I guess that the 080 Version does not upgrade my 074, but will install a second instance as the program file folders are different. If i now deinstall the 074 what will happen with my clips and saved searches?

You have to run the same bit version of Sigil as you have installed for Python. So if you have a 32-bit Python 2.7.x installed, you have to install the 32-bit Sigil in order to use plugins that are written for Python 2.7.x

Saved's are configurations. Sigil, Calibre (and many more) uninstalls leave them behind without the option for automatic removal.

In other words: 'You are safe'

That is not correct. Nor is it an answer to the op's question.

You do not need to have the same version of python (32 vs 64bits) as you have Sigil. They are not compiled together nor linked statically or dynamically to each other at this point. That may change in the future if we ever decide to package Python into Sigil itself. But if that happens, they will both be built by the same compiler.

So a 64 bit version of Sigil can invoke a 32 bit version of Python as long as the 32 bit version of python version can be run from the command line , it all should just work. The same is true for 32 bit Sigil and 64 bit version of python.
The only edge case might be working with huge individual ebook files that over 2 gig in size. So no worries.
