How to Delete an Open With entry?

BetterRed · 06-09-2019, 08:54 PM

Apart from saving the current file, closing Sigil, editing sigil.ini, starting Sigil, and opening the epub just saved.

Suggest the Open With flyout menu be given an option to delete existing items.

OT: will the advent of webengine mean we finally get Sigil version 1.0

If you remove, move, or rename the program it will be dropped when Sigil tries to next open-with it. Also it only remembers the most recently used 5 apps for any resource type so you can add 5 new apps and force it to be forgotten.

So no delete except by editing your ini after Sigil is closed.

And no the QtWebEngine version will be 0.9.15.

I think we have reserved 1.0 in our minds for handling epub3 fixed layout (or at least trying to) and for when we stop having to rearrange epubs to fit our desired directory naming format, neither of which have we started work on yet.

The program I added, mistakenly, was 'explorer.exe' (finder equivalent), not sure I'd want to remove, move, or rename it

And I don't think I have 5 image editors

No worries
