Sigil feature request more entries on recently opened.

Hi is it possible to change the default recently opened epubs from 5 to 6 (or more)?

I am currently in college (again) and I have 6 subjects on the go. Each one getting its own dedicated Ebook. The format lends itself to entries by class and its easy to include downloaded html and images of various types and svg files.


I'm currently working out the best way for taking notes.
There is quite a nice program called write which is for windows linux and osx which records svg files and embeds them into html pages this imports well into sigil.
The only drawback is there is no way to translate handwriting in svg format to typed text.

myscript sylus , myscript studio and myscript notes are available for windows and osx and all run fairly well under wine on linux.

myscript stylus seems to be the best for word recognition but it needs to dump the translation to notepad under wine. myscript notes and studio are pretty good at reading handwriting written into either program and also read most pen formats (I have a standalone pad which produces top files or when plugged in acts as a graphics tablet).

These 2 programs notes and studio are fairly good at reading my scrawl with studio having an edge. although the stylus program is perhaps better in some ways as it offers
alternative translations for words it translates badly. I am still not sure which is faster for me typing or writing (for diagrams writing wins).

I had a light bulb moment with PDF files I initially used book view to copy and paste but it produced way to many paragraphs in code view its better to open a paragraph paste plain text close the paragraph and switch to book view to tidy up.

Libre office is also fairly good for saved web pages open the html then save as odt and then open the odt and save as html again seems to bring page images locally and makes it easier to embed within the epub. I've still to play with linking sections within the epub but I probably will.

I found a small bug with sigil it doesn't like titles with a / in the name on linux it recovered from that without a problem but perhaps it should check for bad names.

Badly formed files seems to only be able to automatically fix 1 error at a time so you end up pressing book view automatically fix bookview automatically fix... repeatedly a fix all errors check box could be handy

Thanks for a great program it really is very useful,
