Sigil-0.9.7 Released - Page 6

DiapDealer · 11-04-2016, 05:10 PM

The "Open With" situation (with regard to Sigil and calibre) is now resolved and done. Calibre has a built-in way for launching Sigil that works correctly, and should be used by those who need that functionality. The fact that the third-party Open With plugin can no longer do so, is not a Sigil bug, nor a Sigil issue at all. Take it up in the Open With plugin thread if you wish to discuss it further. Thanks.

Just wanted people to know I fixed the bug in the Calibre "Open With" plugin:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=309

It now uses the same launching system as Calibre uses, so Sigil 0.9.7 works fine on Windows when launched using the fixed plugin. I didn't change any other code, so other platforms should continue to work as before.

Thanks for that.

Why doesn't all epub files get marked with Sigil version number and the edit date? Not that it matters, but would want to get consistent metadata

vs.
http://imgur.com/a/omXvr (Sigil version and date were added automatically)

KevinH · 11-07-2016, 05:44 PM

That version and date is added when the epub is saved, not when the epub is first loaded and it happens all of the time when something has changed and a save is done.

On some epub files version number and date is not added after save. That is the case on the first picture I linked. When I added the metadata I wanted and clicked save, version number and date was not added.

This is not that important. I was just wondering why that is and if there's a solution to add version number and date to all files

Apart from this tiny, tiny issue Sigil is great and useful

KevinH · 11-07-2016, 06:59 PM

Hi reggie717,

Hmm that is very strange. Would you please look at the content.opf and verify that neither the Sigil version nor the date are in the metadata section of the content.opf in your first book after a save.

Also is this with an epub2 or an epub3?

Thanks,

KevinH

It appears that Sigil doesn't save version number and date automatically to epub3 files. I have three books that don't have version number or date added and I noticed that they are all epub3 (vs. +20 books in epub2 and version number and date is added to all of them).

Correction: the modified date and the Sigil version number entries are being created when saving both EPUB2s and EPUB3s (you can see the meta entries in the OPF file). They're just not being shown in Sigil's gui metadata editor with EPUB3s.

Thank you

Is there a way to get the entries to be shown also in the gui editor as with epub2s?

Oh, I'm sure there is. We just have to figure out why they're not being shown in the first place (and then fix it for the next release).

KevinH · 11-07-2016, 08:19 PM

Actually the date is tied into a mandatory epub3 metadata as it is not part and can not be edited as it creates part of the overall truly unique id. So we do not want it played with under epub3 as it will be auto updated upon save. Epub2 metadata is allowed but not supported under epub3.

Ah, that makes sense. The spec differences from 2 to 3 always trip me up.

I got the following warning from Little Snitch on OS X 11.12. It occurred after launching the SmartenPunctuation plugin.

Could be part of an automatic check for an update?
