Sigil-0.9.7 Released - Page 5

MickiTee · 11-02-2016, 09:56 AM

I've installed 0.9.7 after removing 0.9.6 on my netbook (Windows 7 Starter SP1) and my PC (Windows 10 64-bit 1511) and I got the following error message when I opened an epub to edit the formatting (font size, margins etc).

'Unsupported XML media-type: application/vnd.adobe-page-template+xml'

I've never seen this error before in any previous version of Sigil I've used.

Below is the HTML code at the beginning of each file. I've only removed the name of the book from the <title> tag.

The book, published earlier this year, is Epub2 and has had its DRM stripped and it hasn't been anywhere near Calibre.

Both the Well-Formed Check Epub or FlightCrew reported No Problems when I ran them.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<link href="../Styles/ebook_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="../Misc/page-template.xpgt" rel="stylesheet" type="application/vnd.adobe-page-template+xml"/>
<meta content="urn:uuid:de119b4b-b9c3-4241-b43e-f73df2d83856" name="Adept.expected.resource"/>
</head>

So far I haven't found any other files with an Adobe template to see if the error is repeated, but I'll keep looking.

I'm admittedly a bit out of my element, here, but I'm not sure that the "vnd." part of the media-type is standard for link tags with xpgt files. But if EpubCheck isn't complaining, I may be all wet. I'll let Kevin chime in.

When I get home, though, I'll check if the same exact code triggers the error in 0.9.6.

You can ignore this message, which will be displayed for all epubs that contain page-template.xpgt files.

AFAIK. "vnd." stands for vendor and the message is displayed because Sigil 0.9.7 added page-template.xpgt editing support and application/vnd.adobe-page-template+xml is not one of the core media types defined in the epub standards.

Earlier epubcheck versions used to flag epubs with xpgt files as a problem, but this was relaxed in later versions.

So it's because Sigil 0.9.7 added the ability to edit XPGT files that the error/warning is occurring? If so, we'll probably have to look into suppressing that message. Hardly seems fair to bark about the existence of a file we've given users the ability to edit, afterall.

It looks to me that the new Sigil code that recognizes text_types (which allows the editing of page-maps, xpgts, and other xml files) is only looking for:

Code:

application/adobe-page-template+xml

If the vnd prefix is common, we'll probably have to add it as well.

KevinH · 11-02-2016, 12:46 PM

Hi,

Yes our own (Mobileread) Wiki for xpgt has the following:

Code:

application/adobe-page-template+xml

as the media-type. But other links seems to use:

Code:

application/vnd.adobe-page-template+xml

The official registrar of media-types http://www.iana.org/assignments/medi...ia-types.xhtml does NOT list it in either form so there is no official media-type (as of October 5th of this year).

So we should probably support both.

I checked a couple of commercial ebooks and they all used

Code:

application/vnd.adobe-page-template+xml

which makes perfect sense, because it's a vendor-specific MIME type.

KevinH · 11-02-2016, 02:31 PM

Agreed ...
But one that has not been properly registered and therefore is unofficial at best. Adobe did register a number of other vnd.adobe* media-types just not this one.

Thanks for the prompt reponses and clear explanation of this.

Yeah, that's nowhere near as easy as a right-click, "Open With", then choose. Time to roll back to 0.9.6.

FWIW : - the calibre Open With is available directly via right click on the format in Book Details.

If launching Sigil via a stranded, and thus undeveloped, third-party plugin for another application were that important to me, I'd personally roll back to 0.9.5. It doesn't have the css centering bug to contend with. 0.9.4 was pretty solid, too. Everyone has their personal favorites. We'll miss you at the 0.9.7 table, though.

Thanks! I knew there had to be any easier way, but I kept trying to find it via the library context-menu. Right-clicking on the format you want to open makes sense, though. Same amount of clicks; just have to remember where to start.

So, that's where it was hidden. Thank You!

In Calibre you can use a keyboard shortcut for opening books with sigil.
But first you have to use the right-click-method at least once (see post #71).

If you use the open-with-plugin - be aware, that there are two open-with-methods waiting for a shortcut:
1. Open with - is targeting the plugin
2. Open With (with capital W) - is where you want to define your shortcut.

It's still a lot easier to right-click on the book in the list, because that's where I just left-clicked to select the book in the first place.

It's also not as easy to edit different formats...you have to explicitly pick the format first, while the "Open with" plugin limits choices to only the formats that exist. And, although you can right click on the cover and do "Open With", that is again in a different location than the formats...it's a lot of mouse moves, and the plugin doesn't require nearly as much.

The last bonus for the plugin is that I don't have to clutter up my Windows "Open With" list on eBook formats so that Calibre can see them.

90% of my use case for Sigil is for EPUB container maintenance (file renaming, file splitting/merging, TOC editing, etc.) and the rest is for the "Delete unused" features, so the CSS editing bug only hits me once every few months.
