Sigil: how to "import" multiple html's in one go

EdK · 09-05-2017, 09:43 PM

Hi all,

I am a "newbie" with Sigil. I use a (separate) website-making program which creates multiple small html files for uploading. that's fine, it makes great web sites. But then I will also sometimes want to create an ePub from those multiple htmls, preferably using Sigil.

As far as I can see, Sigil can only "bring in" one html at a time. I don't want to have to do that for eg 100 html files (!!!!). I tried selecting all the html files while using the Sigil file/open menu item - it seemed to select them OK but ended up only bringing in ONE FILE (!!!!).

What am I missing here? Surely there is an easy way to bring in all 100+ little files, using a Sigil command or menu item ??? I would greatly appreciate instruction or enlightenment on this aspect, please.

If indeed Sigil cannot do this, can this functionality be included in an upgrade soon? I really like what Sigil does in all other respects....

File->Add->Existing Files

File->Open is limited to a single file.

I'm lazy. The big PLUS (+) button--third icon from the left--works very well, too.
