Adding a file in the Misc folder

roger64 · 11-07-2012, 01:14 PM

Hi

The Misc folder seems to be an convenient place to store the com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file.

However, if I try to insert it using "existing files", it lands in the folder Text.

Is there a clean way to do it? I know it is possible to do it opening the EPUB, but there must be a better solution...

Add it to the right folder outside of Sigil (I believe the META-INF folder). It will show as being in the Misc folder, but it will be allright.

Yes, you have to add that file outside of Sigil (the META-INF folder is where it has to live). Once you add it; just forget about it. Don't pay any attention to where it appears to be located when open in Sigil.

You can't currently add/create/edit that file using Sigil.

Yes to do it from outside.I thought I had missed something.

Allowing users to add files directly to the Misc folder could be one of the next features for Sigil 0.7.
