Whew! That's a weight off my mind.

I'll take a look at the calibre plugin when I get some time, to see if there's a workaround. This issue (or previous ones similar to it) is why I stopped using that plugin (for Sigil and epubs, anyway). I thought that calibre had added some kind of permanent (not a plugin) feature to do the same thing as the Open With plugin that didn't suffer from this issue, though.

EDIT: It's still there (and still works). When you do View->View Specific Format, the Choose Format dialog has an "Open AZW3/EPUB/MOBI with" dropdown--depending on which format is selected--in the bottom left-hand corner) that will allow you to configure applications to open the various formats with (and will remember those applications). Might not be quite as easy, but it does work.

BTW, Confucio's problem illustrates another weird Windows-only issue. If you look closer at his screenshots, you'll notice that the name of the cover image is Cover.jpg, however, the cover html code refers to cover.jpg. As you know, in Linux/OSX cover.jpg and Cover.jpg are two different files, however, in Windows, file names are case-insensitive, and the cover image is being displayed even though it technically doesn't exist.

Are there any Windows-only Qt build parameters that enforce strict file name matching for Qt components?

Plugin Issue

I experienced with the Sigil update the following issue. When running the Smarten Punctuation plugin the special window that opens (allows selection of which parts of a file to work on) opens in the background and not on top of the Sigil "Plugin Runner" Window. At first I thought the Smarten Punctuation plugin did not work. But it does work except for this new behavior which is a pain to work with because you have to find the lost window and bring it to the front.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I've had that happen before (even with earlier versions of Sigil) with various plugins, but it never stayed that way. I'm not experiencing the problem right now, though. The Smarten Punctuation gui is coming up normal for me with v0.9.7 on Windows and Linux.

I don't really know, to be honest. I'd have to look into it. That would be all WebKit, I'd imagine. I'm not sure there's a way to make a browser honor case sensitive urls in client-side (x)html links on a case insensitive platform.

Just installed Sigil 9.7 after uninstalling Sigil 9.6. Opening an epub to edit in Sigil from Calibre using the right click on filetype works, using the Open With plugin gives me a C++ runtime error. If I click OK enough times, Sigil does open but the cover image does not display from the titlepage html file. Even if I open the images folder and double click on cover.jpg, it does not display. In the ebook I was testing, there are 16 images, 9 of which display, the other 7 show as 0x0 images though the file size is correct.

I just installed Sigil 0.9.7 64 bit on Windows 10 Pro 1511 over the top of 0.9.6 (I'll uninstall and reinstall to get rid of the dross shortly, but I wanted to test the calibre OW issue in worst case scenario). I did not reboot Windows. I did not associate Sigil with EPUBs.

Since calibre's built in Open With was released some time back, that's the way I've been launching Sigil (and many other things) from within calibre, I removed the optional OW plugin. Using the built-in OW, I have no problems regarding covers or other images in Sigil 0.9.7.

So those with problems might want to consider switching to calibre's built-in OW. I do the configuration via the Open XXXX With button in the View specific format dialogue. It's much simpler to configure than the OW PI, but it does all I ever did with the PI.

As previously mentioned, there have been on-again/off-again problems with the Open With plugin and Sigil on Windows. We're obviously in an off-again phase. Don't use the Open With plugin to launch Sigil from within calibre on Windows right now. Use the built-in Open with feature of calibre instead.

IMO its much easier, point and click at a shortcut in ...Start Menu\Programs.

And if IIRC and you allow it, calibre will pick up the Windows Open With settings for each file type and make the them available - automatically.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party.

I am having the same issue with jpegs not appearing in either the document or the image browser.

I had been using a portable version of Sigil, but I just installed the regular version for the first time on this machine (Windows 10). I did a reboot.

I open Sigil and then click file>open and open my epub. I am not using Calibre to launch.

Any ideas?

No clue. If you're not using the Open With plugin from calibre, then yours is the first case reported where images don't render properly. I know of no reason that would happen.

If it matters, it is only jpegs that don't work.

Do you get the exact same error message about multiple MS C dlls?
What happens when you double-click on an image file in Sigil's BookBrowser?
What does the report say?
What does epubcheck say?

This'll sound crazy, but I stopped working on making ebooks for a few years due to some medical issues and I currently have a really old Sigil version 0.5.1 installed. I want to update, because I'm keen to get back to work, but am a little scared things will have changed so much I won't know what I'm doing!

I assume I should uninstall the current version and then download and install the new version. Or is it possible to run both versions on the same Windows 7 64 bit machine?

If there is anything else critical I should know before plunging ahead, please let me know!

Many thanks in advance and thanks to those who have continued work on this wonderful tool!

@graycyn: I would definitely uninstall the old version first. Even though you could technically have two versions on the same machine, they would share the same preferences. It's possible that a version that old might store its prefs somewhere else--I just don't know. I'm not even certain the old preferences would be compatible with the newer version. I'd be tempted to delete the old preferences and start from scratch, myself.

But for now, I say just uninstall the old version and install the new. If there's issues, we can deal with them then.
