Crashing when openning an epub
Hi.
First at all, thanks a lot for this software, really great. I am making my first epub and all is going great. But what I have noted it is that I can not open an epub, when I try to open an epub dont maked by sigil, the program crashes. I work since Mac, Leopard. I dont know if somebody have the same experience. Thank in advance. |

If the epub you're opening was made with calibre, that issue has been fixed and will be in the next release. The bug was not in Sigil however, but in zip modules Calibre uses. I implemented a workaround so it shouldn't be a problem any more.

Another bug is that the program crashes very often just when is saving a document.

Well is it one or the other?
What I want you to do is create a minimal step-by-step procedure that when followed always causes a crash. Then create an issue on the tracker with this procedure and I will be able to find the cause of the crash and fix it. |

I see... the problem is I can not see a pattern of behavior... sometimes I can work and save for a long time, and another I just can save once, and in the second try to save crashes. Maybe it crash more often when I move images and try to save after that, but noy always.

If you do spend the time and come up with a reliable way to cause the crash, it can probably be fixed very quickly. It is possible that it's a random crash - dependent on some bit of memory have a particular value that isn't set by the code. In that case, the best you can do is find a sequence of events that will (say) cause the crash to happen one time in three. Even that would be a lot better as a bug report. It's a sad fact, but reporting a bug well is often as much work as fixing the bug. |
