Sigil 0.4.0 betas

Valloric · 03-20-2011, 04:49 PM

The first beta of 0.4.0 is now out. More details in the related blog post.

Great, trying to build it now.

A side note, the file name is Sigil-0.4.0β1-Code.zip ? that's intentional or a typo? (I'd rather it's b1 so that I don't have to rename the file

).

Valloric · 03-20-2011, 05:39 PM

It's intentional. The "β" character is the Greek letter "beta".

Toxaris · 03-20-2011, 05:54 PM

Downloaded and posted a first issue. Something strange happens in the split files sequence in the Book Browser. I split with ctrl+enter.

(Yes, I know it's a Greek letter).

No problem, I'll just rename the zip file as that character bothers rpm-build.

Windows XP
An old issue has cropped up again:

Splitting a file, moving to another file and splitting that, loses the proper place (section0003 ended up at the end of the list when it was part of a multiple split from one of the first chapter section

Toxaris · 03-21-2011, 04:47 AM

That's the issue I logged. It seems that when I create a new file, it goes just above the one that is open in the window.
Another one is that search in all files does not always work. I get the message that it is not found when I am sure it is there. If I go to the file and search, I do find it.

Toxaris · 03-21-2011, 04:51 AM

Another very annoying one. I first thought it was me... I saved a file last night and opened it today. Some files missing. Hmm. Made changes and saved it again. Again two files missing. No clue in why though...
It were the last two files I worked on.

It also garbles up the content.opf and the toc.ncx. Files are mentioned twice (or more). Regenerating the toc does not help.

I edited the content.opf by hand by setting the sequence right. I usually rename the section000x.xhtml to something like chap0x.xhtml. The id's in the content.opf were totally off. Usually the old names. Therefore multiple Section0001.xhtml existed. I think that is where the trouble starts...

Toxaris · 03-21-2011, 05:29 AM

And another issue. I set in the meta editor the following fields: Title, Author, language and ISBN. Upon validation I get the following errors:
The "scheme" attribute is not an allowed attribute of the <identifier> element.
The "role" attribute is not an allowed attribute of the <creator> element.

And indeed, Sigil put in the following information in the opf:
<dc:identifier scheme="ISBN">9029013303</dc:identifier>
<dc:creator role="aut">Jack Vance</dc:creator>

I would expect:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="ISBN">9029013303</dc:identifier>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Jack Vance</dc:creator>

If I add the "opf:", validation goes right.

Everyone, please, report the issues on the tracker. That's what it's for.

Thank you.

Try to make that reproducible, then report it on the tracker.

Same thing. Make it reproducible, report on tracker.

The ID's can be anything, as long as they're unique. I don't update them when you rename your files. Their content doesn't matter.

Again,

take the file,
go to the tracker,
write a procedure that reproduces this bug,
upload the file,
press "submit".

Then it can get fixed.

Toxaris · 03-21-2011, 07:00 AM

You are fast! I entered a issue and could not find it a few minutes later, because it is fixed in an revision! Good work!

Valloric · 03-21-2011, 10:29 AM

Second beta is now online.

At first check seems much better.

BTW: Has anyone else noticed a significant slowing of the download of Calibre and Sigil from Google? It took 15 min to download beta 2.
