Flightcrew Validation check

[Moonraker]

Can we have a shortcut for the Flightcrew validation check plugin?
Flightcrew finds unused images that the other two validation checks do not find.
I do not understand the difference between the F7 and alt+F2 validation checks but they always tell me "No Problems Found" so I don't trust them.

Flightcrew is now a Plugin. The new built-in check does only check if the code is well-formed, nothing else. Flightcrew can be found on github, same location as for Sigil itself.

I guess in the next release there will be an autostart option for plugins and three menu-slosIcons which can be assigned to a plugin. So its on the way.

Like Rubeus said, Flightcrew is no longer part of Sigil. If you download the Flightcrew plugin, you can install it. You do not need a seperate python installation, you can use the built in python.

As rubeus mentioned, Flightcrew is not a built-in feature of Sigil any more. It is only available as a plugin. Once installed you can launch it from the main menu (Plugins->Validate->FlightCrew). If you don't have it installed. download it from https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/fligh...ases/tag/0.9.0 and install it (Make sure you have the "Use Bundled Python" checkbox checked in the "Plugins" Preferences dialog).

The next version of Sigil will have the option of assigning keyboard shortcuts to a handful of favorite plugins.

For clarification purposes: there is only ONE check integral to Sigil and that is the 'Well-Formed Check EPUB' tool (F7). The only thing it checks is to see if the (x)html is well-formed--there is nothing particularly epub-specific about it. It's a quick and dirty check to make sure that there's no missing end tags, or improper nesting, or other things that could stop any of Sigil's automated features from being able to work properly.

ALT+F2 is not a validation check at all. It's just the default keyboard shortcut that toggles the visibility of the Validation Results widget/pane.

You could always revert to 0.8.6, where Flight Crew is alive and well behind its fat green checkmark. https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.8.6

Well, Flightcrew is not dead...
