Appcrash(es) 0.8.2 - Downgrade to 0.7.X?

[Buchstabensalat]

Hi,

using Sigil 0.8.2 and 0.8.1 on a win7-32 computer i expierence problems with app crashes

Problemereignisname: APPCRASH
Anwendungsname: Sigil.exe
Anwendungsversion: 0.8.2.0
Anwendungszeitstempel: 5478f346
Fehlermodulname: Qt5WebKit.dll
Fehlermodulversion: 5.3.2.0

deleting files in the opened epub or if i try to open an existing epub while already running sigil with an epub book opened.

So I want to go back to 0.7.X which was working without causing any crashes. Worked like a charm. I want this 0.7.X version back.

Where can i get the 0.7.X files downgrading sigil? Anything to have in mind downgrading and deinstall Sigil 0.8.2?

Thank you

The earlier releases are still on Google Code:

The updated Sigil works fine on my Win 7 32-bit box, but I certainly understand your frustration. An earlier version of Sigil just wouldn't run on my Win XP computer.

Hi,

after deinstallation of .0.8.2 and deletion of \user data got back to 0.7.4.

If you'd like one more shot at v0.8.x, try giving the unofficial legacy windows version a shot.

Not that you have a legacy version of Windows or anything, but because that build uses a different pre-compiled version of Qt5.3.2 (VS2010/OpenGL vs VS2013/ANGLE).

Hi,

I am using windows 7 32 bit and not xp!

before deinstall. of .8.2 finally I made some additional tests and found, if the focus (->see the file in preview) was on the file I tried to delete, sigil crashed 100%, if the focus was not on the file I wanted to deleted from the epub, sigil sometimes crashed and sometimes not. The epub file passed Flight crew with no issues, kindlegen conversion passed without issues ...

*sigh*
Hence why I said; "Not that you have a legacy version of Windows or anything."

The legacy version is not limited in any way. It will run fine on newer versions of Windows, too. It's just built in a way that does not automatically exclude XP SP3 machines.

Thank you for this, though. It at least might help someone where to focus: Deleting a file that has the Preview widget focus. I can't duplicate it, but it's a start. Was your preview widget docked or floating? Do you remember?

Also, did you happen to delete the user data before installing 0.8.x to see if that made a difference? I only mention it because you said you deleted it before going back to 0.7.x.

All the older versions are still available where you (should have) downloaded them from originally.

Just switch from "Current downloads" to "All downloads" and click search.

floating

Sigil .8.x also crashed frequently (~70% i feel) if I tried to open an existing epub from the file open menue with Sigil .8.x running already a different epub file. Opening Sigil .8.x and opening thru file file/open never caused appcrashes.

both issues (1. crashes deleting files from an epub and 2. crashes when opening an existing file) made me believe that .8.x isn`t stable for my computer and got back to 0.7.4 which I believe is stable as I worked with this version long time without having crashes. Thank you all developers for making this software running

I wonder if Microsoft's "Problem Steps Recorder" tool in Windows 7 could help document the issue.

See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/w...steps-recorder for how to invoke it.
