Dear DiapDealer,
Version 2.2.0 on MacBook Air M2 (macOS 15 Sequoia Beta) does not save state of toolbar items. |

Please just stay out of it, Jon. Kevin will troubleshoot this.

Please attach a couple of screenshots showing the issue as it would help show the problem. That said, Sigil only saves its state on close and so if you have two main windows open in the same Sigil app (something that can only happen in Sigil on MacOS) and hide clips in one but close it first, the one you close second will be the one whose state is saved. If you quit Sigil when more than one Window is open, it is pot luck as to which state will be remembered depending on the order they actually get the close signal. This has always been the case on MacOS. It will always remember the last closed state. Also you might want to see if saving the epub, or resizing the Main window has any impact on which toolbars are being shown. --- As far as I know, macOS Sequoia is in Preview mode only and only introduced last week. And it has introduced Window tiling which can interfere with the any app controlling its own Window layout. As far as I know, Qt 6.6 and even Qt 6.8 are not Sequoia compatible either as Sequoia was only introduced last week. That said, Qt has tested things against their dev branch and seem to think there are no Qt widget issues: see https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-on-macos-15-sequoia I am sorry, but there is *no* chance I would ever upgrade to a Preview release of macOS, especially as Mac OS has had numerous bugs of late that are not worked out until 3 or 4 point releases later. My build platforms are always one full macOS release back from the bleeding edge for stability reasons. I only have a single build machine for each variant of MacOS and can not risk running Beta software on either of them. So my guess is this is a MacOS bug in its Beta, as nothing related to toolbar state was changed in the Sigil code, as Qt version 6.6.2 has had no changes in that area since the 2.1.0 release. You should probably also report these issues to Apple via your developer account, and file a bug report directly with Qt if you can recreate this issue with any other Qt based software. So that whatever the cause of the issue, it gets addressed quickly. Last edited by KevinH; 06-15-2024 at 10:27 AM. |

Both the new Sigil and PageEdit compiled perfectly on my Pop_os box, and a quick run-through on a big novel has found no glitches. Thank you, wonderful people!

Thank you very much for your reply and useful information. I attach here some screenshots for clarifying the matter:
I've tried to return to Sigil version 2.1.0 and it worked as expected: At first start, I've had to choose to show/hide the toolbars. But from the next use, the toolbars displayed as having been set. |

@quocsan,
That is very strange. There have been no changes since Sigil-2.1.0 that would impact the state of toolbars. I can not recreate what you are seeing at all. Did you try loading or saving an empty epub or resizing the Main Window as I suggested after making your toolbar changes? Does doing that impact anything? The state of all toolbars and windows is remembered in the Sigil ini preferences file and that is shared (unchanged) from Sigil-2.1.0. My guess is some new security feature is interfering with saving the updated preferences for Sigil 2.2.0 that is ignored for Sigil-2.1.0. Please try giving Sigil 2.2.0 full disk access in macOS Preferences and try changing settings again. Please let us know what you find. Last edited by KevinH; 06-15-2024 at 09:26 PM. |

@quocsan,
Just tested a different mac laptop (my wife's) with Sigil-2.2.0 for arm64. It has never had Sigil installed on it. It exhibited similar issues to what you reported but only *before* it was given local disk access by asking it to load an epub from a local drive. Once it had prompted for local disk access permissions, it had no trouble at all with changing and saving the state of its toolbars. So my guess is your new beta version is acting similarly with Sigil-2.2.0. So please try loading an epub from your local drive, granting it local disk access, and then try changing toolbar settings. Once Sigil has permission to read/write from your local disk, it will be able to save its settings ini file without it silently being ignored by the macOS. This is just more macOS pseudo "security" nonsense. Needing to have the user "grant" local disk access to your home folder for a locally installed app is just for the birds. My guess is they do not do this for "notarized" apps from the App Store but we will never use the App Store because of their silly rules. KDE Plasma 6 on Manjaro is looking better and better to me!

@quocsan,
Are you by chance running Sigil in Full Screen or Maximized mode when you are trying to change the toolbar settings? If so, please test with a normal window (not FullScreen and not Maximized) to see if that has any bearing on the issue. |

Having given 2.2.0 full disk access, I've tried saving an empty pub. Result: State of toolbars was not saved, the screen sometimes got flashing. But when I tried to resize main windows, Sigil 2.2.0 could save state of toolbars. I notice that if I quit Sigil when main windows is in full-screen mode, then on next start, Sigil seems to reset state of toolbars. My temporary fix for now: Separatedly keep “sigil_v6.ini’ file with desired state of toolbars. Whenever toolbars in Sigil 2.2.0 display unexpectedly, I’ll use this file to overwrite that of v2.2.0. Once again, thank you for your quick-and-so-helpful reply. |

Yes, because of issues with macOS getting "stuck" in maximized or full screen modes, we had to stop trying to save the Window state when Sigil is maximized. That change worked to fix the macOS getting stuck issue. Your inability to save state until resized is related I think. I will check to see if there is a way to still save state even if maximized.

FWIW, I took a peek at the code in MainWindow related to saving and restoring toolbar state in Sigil's v6 ini file and nothing changed with SaveState and RestoreState in this release compared to the previous one. So I do think there is a bug in macOS Sequoia Beta related to saving state.
