That is a Qt tab thing, not really something under our control and the image does not take up much space. The key point here is that double clicking on a Filename in the BookBrowser pane will always bring that tab to the front. So instead of relying on tiny tab names, you can simply use the full names in the BookBrowser to select your tab when you have too many.
Also shutting tabs is easy if you want to free up space to have a smaller active set of tabs you are working on. For the next release I will look into enabling a scroll bar for the QTabBar and add the file names as tool tips for each tab. KevinH Quote:

Things change. We don't always like all of them. But we should try to separate personal preferences from issues. There's been some big internal changes in this release (0.9.11/12), so for the time being, we're focused on issues. The tabs work, the tabs close, and double-clicking on the filename in the Book Browser brings that file's tab to the forefront whether it as already open or not.

Tabs not displaying to whom they belong dont work. Full Stop. Why not just put them away? And its ridicolous saying thats my personal preference, dumbo.

If that is your attitude toward one of the developers who volunteers his time (me being the other) to create Sigil, you can get your support from someone else!
We have already provided you with a workaround and said we would add a scroll bar and tooltips to help for the next release. This "issue" is now closed to further discussion so that we can focus on more serious issues. |

Something similar is happening in my system with Windows 7 x64 and Sigil 0.9.12. Even worst, Sigil reported a memory use of more than 300 MB (when the epub is loaded the memory use is about 150 MB and after a half hour of working the memory used is about 320 MB).

Does the epub you are editing have or use embedded fonts? As for memory consumption, 320 meg is nothing much to speak of. This could be due to font caching (thus my earlier question), image caching, backing store for currently open windows, etc. None of these are memory leaks per se. I also wonder what invoking a plugin does to the memory footprint to load an entire python virtual machine and some associated python plugin code?
Strange, running macOS leaks on Sigil.app does not show much of anything. Would you please try opening a copy of Sigil and load your test epub and checking the memory consumption and then let Sigil sit completely *idle* while using other things on your machine for about an hour and then going back to your still open Sigil app and checking memory consumption again. Did it change, if so, how much. Thanks, KevinH |

Question for those seeing major performance issues: do you uninstall the old version of Sigil before installing the new? If not, would you be willing to uninstall Sigil, ensure that the Program Files\Sigil folder is completely empty (delete anything left in that folder with no fear) before re-installing the latest? Completely removing Sigil from Program Files (or Program Files (x86) if you use 32-bit Sigil) won't affect any of your settings in the least. I'm just trying to rule out the possibility that there are some old dlls or Qt plugins, or qt.conf files that might be causing problems.

Wow just one search and replace really bloated things. The problem is we really have changed nothing when it comes to search and replace. For search and replace Sigil still uses its internal version of pcre 1. I think it is statically linked in (it is on a Mac). Qt just recently moved away from using the pcre 1 library to using pcre2 library internally for Qt QRegularExpressions.
I wonder if during linking the two different pcre library versions are causing a problem for windows machines? Nothing else has changed for Find and Replace inside Sigil in a long time. This is so strange! KevinH Quote:

I uninstalled Sigil and removed everything in the \Sigil folder, then reinstalled Sigil. When I first opened an epub, memory usage was 133.6 mb. After 5 minutes of messing around with F&R, it was 256.6. Another 5 minutes and it had climbed to 409.3, then 612.8. At that point, I let Sigil sit while I did other stuff on the computer. Memory usage for Sigil did not increase at all. Then I went back to messing around with my epub file in Sigil, but instead of using F&R, I simply right-clicked in the Code View window and selected Reformat HTML/Mend & Prettify Code, and watched as memory usage climbed to 804.2 mb.
Then I thought, "Hmmm...I wonder if it has something to do with the Preview window?" (which I always have open so I can see the effects of whatever I do in Code view). So I closed the Preview window. And guess what? Right-clicking in the Code View window temporarily increased memory usage, but then it dropped back down again. I did this a few times, then reopened the Preview window. Memory usage started climbing again. Could this be related to having the Preview window open as I work? Quote:

Hi David,
Quote:
However, since your preserve_entity_codes entry contains lots of entries with an à character, it looks like your .ini files weren't properly converted to utf-8 files. Did you by any chance skip the Sigil 0.9.11 update or did you install two different Sigil versions on your machine? If so, your .ini files might not have been properly converted. (I'm not sure if the Sigil 0.9.12 installer also converts legacy .ini files.) If that's the case, you should also see entries with à characters, if you open the Clip Editor/Saved Searches dialog boxes. If you also see à characters in the Clip Editor/Saved Searches dialog boxes, you might have to manually convert your old .ini files to utf-8 files. However, before you do anything, please wait for an authoritative answer by @DiapDealer |
