If I "float" my Preview widget (on Windows 10) and close Sigil, the Preview Widget is floating right where I left it when I relaunch Sigil.

So, it seems that the floating Preview is not restored when I relaunch Sigil from the taskbar. I use the task bar as a 'giant' quick-launch bar which is abnormal, and I run a 3rd party Taskbar enhancement utility - 7TT+. I'm not actually bothered by this, firstly I don't normally float PV. And I don't care if it does have something to do with my taskbar setup because I'm not fazed by having to press F10 to restore a floating PV BR Last edited by BetterRed; 06-26-2019 at 10:45 PM. |

I honestly don't know what your first and last options are even referring to. I launch Sigil by double clicking a Sigil shortcut or by double-clicking an epub.
I don't use an undocked Preview either. I was just testing. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-26-2019 at 10:58 PM. |

Ah... the quicklaunch toolbar on the taskbar. Now I get it.
FWIW, the floating Preview widget is being properly restored when using all of your various re-launch methods--even the first and last--on the two different Windows 10 machines I've tried it on. Quote:

I tested the 64bit new Version 0.9.15 on Windows 10 (after deinstalling the 32bit Version 0.9.14).
After starting Sigil 0.9.15 I see the html-code. I open an epub, same; I see the code. Now I'm looking for the switch-icons "book view" and "code view". They are not shown. Pressing "F2" takes no action ... Whats the reason why? You killed this two icon-keys? Best regards |

Ugh...back to having Sigil freeze on opening.... I noticed it is still trying to open the preview panel in undocked mode (which is how I left it when closing last time). Does anyone know what setting to change in Sigil.ini to turn off the preview pane? maybe that will let me open it.

I couldn't find the correct setting, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, then opened Sigil from the start menu (blank default epub) and closed down the preview pane.
I was then able to open by double clicking on an epub file, and by using the 'open' selection from within Sigil. That all worked fine. In every test case - about 6 including default blank epub, pure text page, and cover page with svg shell - when I tried to enable the preview pane Sigil would freeze up (Not Responding). |

Something in your Sigil.ini file must be hosed.
Double click the titlebar of the Preview widget to re-dock it somewhere, and then make sure Sigil can open/close without freezing with it displayed (but docked) before trying to undock it again. Myself; I'd just delete the Sigil.ini file, let Sigil recreate it and then set everything back up how I like it again. But I know people tend to fall in love with their heavily customized settings and resist doing that for as long as they possibly can. Heck, I delete my Sigil.ini file at least once a week these days (with no backup). Sometimes just for the practice. Ain't no big deal. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-27-2019 at 02:37 PM. |

I've attached the .ini
Can you see something wrong? It won't let me do anything with the preview widget...as soon as it is selected it freezes Sigil. |

OK - troubleshot a little more.
- clean reinstall - (re) opened epubs with preview widget docked; no issues - (re) opened epubs with preview widget undocked on same monitor; no issues - (re) opened epubs with preview widget undocked on different monitor; freezes Sigil I have the preview widget on the extended desktop on the 2nd monitor. The 2nd monitor has a much higher resolution than the one the Main window is on. Last edited by Turtle91; 06-27-2019 at 02:52 PM. |
