Sigil "External Edit" not implemented for Mac?

camdenmaine · 02-02-2013, 11:12 AM

I'd like to use the "Edit with" feature as described in the user manual. But when I right click on a file's name in the Book Browser, I get an entirely different pop up, one that doesn't offer Edit With. I'm running the latest Sigl under Mac OSX 10.8.2. Thanks in advance for any help.

It's the Open With menu. What version are you running? And if it is 0.6.2 can you include a screenshot of you right-clicking on a file?

I'm running 0.6.2 (though the About Sigil pane still reads 0.5.3). I'm a bit vague on how to include a screenshot. When I click on the picture icon it wants a URL. I gave it the local URL for the screenshot on my desktop. Will that work? Anyway, here it is:

If not, please clue me in.

Thanks in advance,

You'll have to upload the screen-shot here (or somewhere on the internet). A link to your local machine isn't going to work well.

Also... if the About Sigil screen reads 0.5.3; rest assured... it's Sigil 0.5.3 you're using and not 0.6.2. Your shortcuts/installations are getting crossed somehow.

You're so right. I'm kicking myself. Thank you so much.

PS: Sigil is awesome. I'm a re-contributor.
