Sigil repair Epub by command line

sswaps · 05-24-2023, 05:44 AM

Hello,
are there any way to process Epub to repair using Sigil by command line?
thx

No. Sigil is a gui program. It has no command-line features. No batch processing of multiple epubs.

If it helps, Sigil's gumbo based repair parser library sigilgumbo has a python plugin interface that could be modified to create a xhtml repair parser for a single file that could be extended to create a command line tool if you have any python experience.

I understand that Sigil is a GUI program and not a does not do command line thigs, that is not quite true. If you pass it a file name on the command line it will open that file.

Is there something that will cause it to open the last opened file?

Is it possible to add that functionality easily if it doesn't exist?

Just curious.

I am using Windows Power Toys Workspaces and have a shortcut to open Sigil and Calibre in specific window locations and it would be nice to have Sigil open the last used file instead of an empty file.

No, that is not something we will be adding to Sigil.

You can already open Sigil and use the recently loaded file menu. Or create a bat file to open Sigil with whatever path you want. Or drag and drop the file on the Sigil app in your Panel.
