Images duplicated in removal screen

DNSB · 03-04-2025, 04:43 AM

I was noticing an oddity when removing unused images. I was cleaning up a book today where the creator had used a separate but identical image for each chapter header and scene break. In the XHTML files, I renamed the images to the same name and then deleted the unused images. I noticed that I had 2 entries in the unused images list for each image. This was using my compiled version of the Sigil beta. I decided before grumbling to try Kevin's precompiled beta 2 (Sigil 2.5.0, QT 6.8.2). Sadly I got the same results when removing unused images. It seems to be purely cosmetic but a bit of a shock when I first noticed.

I'm using a pre-beta version of 2.4.2 and can see this problem too. It also manifests when using "Insert File". I get duplicates of all images available to insert.

Wow! That is a new one I have never seen before. Not sure what is doubling Images for Delete File and Insert File. Perhaps a multithreaded thing?

I will look into it.

Maybe something went wrong with an ifdef removal in one of our code cleanups?

Both issues were caused by trying to treat svgimages as a separate resource type but they are stored in the same BookBrowser Images folder as regular images so everything in the Images folder gets added twice. So fix one bug cause another. Either way, this is now fixed in Sigil master for both delete unused media and insert files.

Thanks for the bug report!

You're welcome!

Edit: Built the updated version and looks good.

FYI - In case you did not want to build your own again, I just now added Beta4 binaries on my repo (See the end of the New Features thread) which have that bug fix already in place.
