Attention All Sigil Users - Page 2

Only Sigil ini files are impacted and if you backed up the ini files as directed in the Sigil 0.9.11 release annoucement, also here in MR, and on the Sigil website, you have no worries. Simply drop back to Sigil 0.9.9 or Sigil 0.9.10 and copy in your backed up ini files.

Alternatively if you have not specialized your ini settings much, you have no worries either.

Damn, damn, damn. I don't even know (or much care) what's an ini file, though I see I have one in my most recent build of WordStar.

That's where all of your Sigil preferences are stored. If you don't have a lot of custom Saved Searches, Clips, an extensive Preserve Entities list or heavily modified Keyboard Shortcuts, then wiping them out will merely mean you'll have to resize a few widgets and maybe adjust a few of Sigil's appearance preferences to get things back the way you're used to seeing it. Maybe reassign plugins to your 5 shortcut buttons. Things like your recently-opened list, or recent searches/replaces would be starting over, though.

NOTE: the keyboard shortcuts section of the Sigil.ini file ([shortcuts] to size=xxx) should be able to be safely copied from any current or backed up version of Sigil.ini.

Curiosity is getting the better of me: What's your first rule of the internet?

@DiapDealer, I'm noticing a 0.9.13 tag but no corresponding version updates to the CMakeLists.txt. Is there a release planned very very soon?

KevinH · 03-20-2019, 07:17 PM

Yes, hopefully before the weekend or sooner to get something more stable out there for people to use. The CMakeLists.txt file had already been updated to 0.9.13 in preparation for the last two weeks or so while DiapDealer has fought with Windows issues that did not happen in macOS or linux.

Yes. Very very soon. The version in the main CMakeLists.txt files was updated to 0.9.13 nearly 2 weeks ago when we were almost ready to release, but ran into a snag.

Whoops! Too slow!

Oh, haha. Indeed. Anyway now the assets are up I can go build new packages.

I upgraded from Legacy .12 to .13; everything seems to be working. UI settings for font, views, plugins the same. Saved clips and searches also as before. Guess I didn't have any Unicode symbols in my ini files.

Thanks for keeping this patched.
I will back up the ini settings before next upgrade. I used to copy the program folder when I did that and delete it after I made sure the new version worked (ignoring the ini files). Ini files are small enough that keeping backups of them indefinitely has no cost.

Used 0.9.13 for a few hours yesterday. No problems to report. Thank you!

If I can't get it working in fifteen minutes, I chuck it as not worth doing.

Lucky I don't take that attitude to my piano practice!
