Did Sigil ever work that way in the AddCover? Why would it default to having something already selected. It is the act of clicking that actually makes your choice apparent. I am not 100% on this. |

And ditto for the MetaEditor? I will look into why focus is stolen when clicking on the remove button.
Update: I tried Sigil-2.0.2, and Sigil-2.1.0 and in "AddCover" neither one highlights a pick when first opened. So there is no change from Sigil 2.2.0 or Sigil 2.2.1. Did the same for the MetaData Editor and nothing was highlighted there either when first opened. So Sigil-2.0.2, and Sigil-2.1.0, work the same as Sigil 2.2.X in that regard. As for the Remove button not letting focus go back to the MetaEditor Window, I have found and fixed that. If you run into any others. Please let me know.

You are probably correct, this is nothing new. But, I would like to use the arrow keys to cycle through the list. Consider this: 1. Start Sigil and add in some images that are potential covers, say they are flower.jpg, marmot,jpg and zebra.jpg. 2. Open Add Cover. screenshot1 shows the picture at top of the list (flower) but no highlighting. I want flower as the cover, I know what a flower looks like, and so I click OK and all is well. 3. Well, I don't want flower so I will use down arrow to see the next image. screenshot2 shows nothing has changed except flower.jpg is highlighted on the list. But I don't want flower, why didn't the down arrow key advance the list the next image in the list? 4. I press down arrow again and the image now changes to the next item in the list: marmot. Again, no highlighting, but I know what a marmot looks like. I don't want that image either so again with down arrow. There is no effect and so the down arrow key is now useless: I can't cycle through the list with down arrow key nor the up arrow key. Here's my opinion: 1. I want to be able to cycle through the list with the up/down arrow keys but I can't, I have to use multiple mouse clicks to cycle through the list. 2. There should always be highlighting that corresponds to the visible image. Highlighting is positive confirmation that the visible image and the filename are paired. If you know names and not pictures then using the mouse (or shortcut) is the only way to go. |

Technically, all QTreeViews (which is what AddCover uses), should automatically use keyboard arrow keys for navigation. Somehow the timing of loading the WebEngine to show the detailed image is messing it up. I will look why that is happening.

@mrprobert,
Okay, It seems that when the QWebEngineView (the big image in the left side) finishes being updated it steals focus to itself and does not return it. This is a bug in Qt. I have had to extensively re-engineer the SelectFiles.h/cpp/ui files using my own focusWidget tracking and QTimers to prevent interrupting the previous load of the QWebEngineView with a new one. All of this now seems to work. I can use Arrow keys to now happily walk down the list of cover images. FWIW - Instead of using WebEngineView to show the detailed image of the cover you can instead use the splitter to hide the WebEngineView and use the + and - keys to set the size of inline thumbnail images to the immediate right of the file name. Your change request is actually a "bug report" as far as I am concerned and its fix will appear in the next release of Sigil. Thank you. Last edited by KevinH; Today at 07:59 AM. |

Heads Up - still not enough missing metadata-refines for media
Quote:
For those interested, I found a few epub3s that use media overlays and this opf_id_updater v2 still does not properly update the refines used for media duration information in the opf: Support for things like the following: <meta property="media:duration" refines="#chapter_001_overlay">0:14:20.500</meta> where the refines value (after removing the leading #) refers to the manifest id of an smil file are not properly updated. So there will be a v3 version of opf_id_updater coming up probably this weekend with this deficiency fixed. |
