Sigil on Mac. Disk drive list

Jon Tucker · 11-28-2023, 01:51 PM

Hi,

This maybe basic but I'm new to Sigil and can't find an answer anywhere.

I'm running Sigil on Mac (Monterey). I have two partitions on my computer. When I try to add files to a project only the main partition (labelled Computer) is showing along with my user folder. I can't get the program to show me the other drive/partition. I've tried the usual reboot, re-install etc by nothing.

Hope this is not too obvious.

Thanks in advance.

The non-native file dialog used on Sigil for mac allows to to manually type in any path you want.

For example my external ssd path would be:

/Volumes/SSDDRV/

And more easily you can also drag and drop any folder onto the left hand side window of the file dialog to make shortcuts to any folder. These are remembered by Sigil and Qt.
