Sigil V0.7.3 released

[user_none]

I’m somewhat pleased to announce the immediate availability of Sigil 0.7.3. This release is primary a bug fix release. Please see the changelog for a full listing.

Currently there is no OS X package for 0.7.3 available. Even though this release fixes numerous bugs on OS X a package cannot be built at this time. The macdeployqt tool I use for OS X packaging is broken in Qt 5.1.0. I was not able to get the workaround to resolve the issue fully. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next Qt release.

Thanks for all the hard work on this.

XP install went smooth.

Installed fine on Windows7 on a 64 bit machine.

Also thanks for your work making this a great piece of software.

Just tried on a Win 7, 64 machine. Downloaded OK, Ran OK, but I couldn't get any response from any menu item. I could type in the main screen OK, but could not do any functions.

I tried twice, same result. Reloaded 7.2 and everything is OK.

Any suggestions?

Installed smoothly on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. No issues found in regard to my normal routines in Sigil.

Thanks!

I had the same issues. Something different/weird with Qt5.1. It's trying to find paths for some extra libs to be included for use of the Qt5Gui module and it's breaking things for some reason. I just commented out the line to include the Qt5GuiConfigExtras.cmake file in "/opt/Qt5.1.0/5.1.0/gcc/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfig.cmake" and then Sigil built fine. I have no idea if something else will be broken because of that, but I haven't run into any issues in my testing so far.

Thanks that seems to have done the trick. building now will have to wait till later to test.

Seeing an issue in Sigil 7.3 on an ePub that opens correctly ib 7.2.

On opening receive the following message

Spoiler:

This EPUB contains errors.
Cannot perform HTML updates since the file is not well formed: ded.htm

ded.html does contain an  

Additionally, a reference to a PNG graphic in ded.html that used to be displayed in bookview in 7.2 now appears as a square box with no content.

Flightcrew presented no errors in 7.2; 7.3 gives errors on images/9-1.png and entity 'nbsp' not found.

What is interesting, is that when I use 7.2, the above page references

<p class="center"><img alt="" src="../Images/9-1.png"/></p>

while the 7.3 version references

<p class="center"><img alt="" src="images/9-1.png"/></p>

Note the case of the images directory, and the relative / absolute pathing to it.

The original ePub when opened via WinZip has the following

Spoiler:

<p class="center"><em>For Philippa, Sophia and Nathaniel</em></p>
<p class="pagebreak">*</p>
<p class="center"><img alt="" src="images/9-1.png"/></p>

where the character after pagebreak appears in a hex debugger as hex C2, hex A0.

Most likely it's due to:

"Fix issue 2232: The nbsp characters in UTF-8 files are converted to normal spaces."

What is the doctype set to for the file (opening it outside of Sigil)? The A0 is a non-breaking space which is being converted to   to prevent the bug where it is converted into a normal space. My guess is the doctype isn't correct so it doesn't know what an   is. Hence the not well formed error. The image wouldn't be displayed correctly because the reference was not updated due to the well formed error.

Bug:

Right single quotes as apostrophes make it impossible to "Ignore" a word. I believe this broke in one of the > 0.7.0 versions, as I know this has been bothering me for months, and it started to occur some time after the Spellcheck tool was added.

(See Before/After attached image).

[Arios]

Same setup as elibrarian here (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bi).

AFAIK, it working as expected, even with the " " .

Thanks!

N.B. I'm using the debian package from DiapDealer on Lubuntu 12.10

One thing I've just found, if I add a html file, any html files, aren't include as they used to be.

    <p><a href="001.html">Chapter One</a></p>
    <p><a href="002.html">Chapter Two</a></p>
    <p><a href="003.html">Chapter Three</a></p>

The files are in same folder as file imported.

Edit: Any linked css or image files are added.

Edit(2):
SORRY
Just installed an older version to test (v0.5.3) and Sigil doesn't pull in the linked html files, must have mis-remembered -> calibre does that though - just me getting confused.

I think this would be helpful, for both users of the GUI only, and those who work directly in the code. Maybe a button called "Insert Table" added right next to "Insert File".

Windows 7 64 bit.

I received too many errors so I have gone back to version 7.2.

nbsp; errors and image errors (I think the image path was wrong apparently). Also reported stylesheet.css not in the manifest but it was.

I did a search and replace and replaced the nbsp; with just a space but I shouldn't think that caused the image and css errors.

I will wait a while before updating again.
