This "live sync/update" system you are asking for—while it looks simple on the surface—is actually extremely difficult to implement, especially using the crappy QtWebkit as the Book View backend. The only application that I know that does this is Adobe Dreamweaver, and I'm not Adobe. But it will be done. I have a few ideas. BTW it's already on the tracker. I disagree. The double-click is here to stay. How would you select a file to rename without changing your current tab? The Book Browser was inspired by the Solution Explorer from Visual Studio, and that's the way it works over there. |

A new β1b version of the first beta will be out for Linux systems (both x86 and x64). Other OS's are unaffected. EDIT: Done. Download and try it now. Last edited by Valloric; 03-02-2010 at 06:29 PM. |

So there is inconsistency as I said in my example, that confused me. When code window has focus, pageup and pagedown keys scrolls book window instead of code window. |

Just an FYI be careful (this has only happened once). Sigil 2 became unresponsive so I let it sit for 3/4 minutes waiting for it to become responsive, it didn't. I ended up forcing it to shut down and when I went back to continue working on the epub it was gone.
No biggie because I had a backup (duh we are working with a beta program). But it was gone. Did a search and it was long gone. So make sure you backup anything you are working on that you might be afraid to lose. |

You may owe me a replacement flat panel.
My monitor may have strained some pixels rendering the page that quickly That was some speed improvement. On another note: Tossing an idea into the pot. I found that the book does not "Open" in tabs by default (not a bad) But if you navigate away from the original tab, could the selection in the left column be made to "track" with the current tab position? |

It happened a few times during development. Sigil is now very deeply multi-threaded, and bugs in the sync mechanisms can cause such a lock-up. In general, with MT programming you can either have resources pre-emptively locked and then work through deadlock bugs, or unlocked and work through race conditions. Since it's easy to detect a deadlock and bloody well near impossible to catch a race condition (let alone debug it), I went with option #1. So when something like this happens, try to make it reproducible: a consistent sequence of steps that always evokes the bug. Then report it and I can quickly fix it. Quote:

What would be the use case for that? What does a user gain from this feature? I just don't see how would this be useful. You already know what file is loaded in your tab, the filename is in the tab title. The Book Browser should really be thought of as a "view" into the "filesystem" of your book. It's not conceptually connected to the tabs. I also see that as violating the Law of Least Astonishment: I'm a user, and I have 5 tabs opened. I'm looking around in the BB for a file I want to open, and I instinctively single-click to select the one I want. I then realize I want to make a quick change in the opened tabs, switch around a bit, and then go back to BB. But wait, why is my file is no longer selected? Astonishment --> UI error. It bears mentioning that no other "Book Browser like" pane (that I know of) changes the selected item to the currently open tab. Last edited by Valloric; 03-03-2010 at 03:45 PM. Reason: typo |

Yep, Sigil 0.2.0 is much faster will the new layout and although I did like the old single-flow look, I'm sure I'll get used to this new way of working as it allows me to concentrate on a much smaller block of text and stops me from loosing focus.
A few things I've noticed: 1. When importing a HTML file that includes the CSS code in it (and not in a separate CSS file) and then inserting a chapter break, all the css code now appears in the new xhtml file. I take it Sigil can't at present extract the CSS code and place it in a CSS file so that when splitting the file, I don't have to modify the CSS code in every split. 2. When splitting a file all the new files are xhtml files, but the first file is showing as a html file (a html file was opened in Sigil to create the book) and I can't rename it. Is this typical behaviour? |
