I was not only designing a slimmer Table, for display on e-readers, but also to align the links visually, as it's shown in the screenshot. When I ripped the table from the book, I neglected to bring my monospace font along, so that didn't display in the one I posted. Have that corrected as well. I need to check the presentation on both my tablet as well as on my phone, just to see how it renders. If there is an untoward wrap, I'll add breaks as necessary to line it up. I'm curious, though--did you also experience the problem that prompted the original post, that of Sigil placing an extra line space between the blocks with each save? (Hopefully this question will bring the post more on-topic...) Last edited by JustinThought; 10-12-2016 at 05:50 PM. |

Code view, except for <pre> pairs,
can have as many blank lines to make it easy Those are only for Humans to make coding easier. just like <space><space><space><space> is rendered as one space BTW Calibre and Sigils view are very forgiving. Check on real devices |

I continue to believe that these are probably the two most valuable tools for e-book creation--especially with the support that experienced users such as yourself are willing to provide. And the price(s) can't be beat! |

Then, I ran across the problem under discussion. In that case, I had four instances of Sigil running, four different files, of course. When I opened the fourth one, my saved searches disappeared from the first three instances, while remaining in the fourth. So, I closed everything down, then called up four blank instances of Sigil. Opened the first file, everything was fine. Opened the second file, bye-bye saved searches. Okay, shut everything down again. Open an instance of Sigil. Open my first file. All good. Open a second instance of Sigil. Open the second file. Everything still good. Rinse and repeat for the third and fourth instances, and saved searches remained in all four instances. This is on a machine running a (rather old) install of Windows 7 64-bit, which has never been connected to the internet, so whatever QT came "out of the box" is what it is using now. Anyway, FWIW, I hope this helps you to track down this very elusive anomaly. edit: oops, forgot to mention, I have both Epubcheck and FlightCrew addons loaded. Just to get a complete picture of what the environment looks like. |

We can try to create a platform specific workaround for this, but OS level inter-process file locking on Windows is really a black box to me. I guess, we could duplicate the clips.ini file itself with every launch into a temp space and then point each process to its own copy, but that seems a bit overkill. Read-only file locking should not be an issue unless something is in the process of writing to the clips ini file but as far as we know, that does not happen until we close the preferences. KevinH |

I've yet to get it to happen even on Windows. I've tried everything people have suggested on a tired 32-bit Vista system and a fairly robust 64-bit Windows 7 system, and I can't get it to happen. Not that I don't believe the reports are accurate, I just wonder how widespread the issue really is. I'm also still wondering if the realtime antivirus/malware scanning of accessed files could play a part in the file-locking issue.

I did some more searching for bugs related to Qt QSettings and found the following online:
Quote:
So we really need to rule this out and for every instance of Sigil running check the "About" box and report the build date and version, and Qt version, to make sure we are not mixing Qt versions across multiple instances of Sigil that are running. It can be easy to run multiple different versions of Sigil at the same time given how programs are launched by menu and with changes in paths. So if you can reproduce either of these QSettings related problems when running mutliple instances of Sigil on Windows, would you please check the "About" box and verify all versions of Sigil running are identical. That way we can rule this out as the cause. Also as DiapDealer pointed out, this could also be related to virus checkers and other things interfering with reading of a shared file across processes.

I have seen this bug every now and then and I always use the same version/instance of Sigil. It is not consistent unfortunately.

I'm always running the same version of Sigil even when i have multiple instances. I'm using Avast antivirus if that helps at all. |
