Sigil layout changed

ace_hart · 07-13-2013, 07:52 AM

I'm currrently using version 7.

A few days ago I opened Sigil to find that the layout had changed. Instead of the 'book browser' appearing as a fixed column on the left there was just the editing area. Yes, I can select 'book browser' from the 'view' tab but then it's floating and obscuring part of the editing. I've tried removing the software and re-installing but to no avail.

Ideally I'd like to get back to the 'fixed' layout I know and love, but even being able to reduce the width of the editing area would be better than the current situation.

Double click the title bar with "Book Browser", that should re-attach the widget to the main ui (I've never tried sigil-0.7.*, but it should work).

If double-clicking the title bar of the Book Browser doesn't re-dock it, you'll probably need to delete the sigil.ini file to fix it. It's not affected by a normal uninstall/reinstall. Double-clicking always works for me, but some have reported it doesn't for them. *shrugs*

Many thanks.

The 'double click' didn't work but deleting the sigil.ini file did.
