Sigil crashes when saving
Hi,
I just started using Sigil and I must say: it looks promising! Looks nice and is easy to use. I just hit one problem at the moment: when I'm trying to save a html page as epub, Sigil crashes immediately. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I also tried compatibility mode (no difference). I have attached the html page I tried to save. Any other people having the same problem? Sander Update: I also tried saving some normal text, but the problem stays the same.

BTW, in the future do try to report these kinds of problems in a new issue on the issue tracker, not on the forum. |

I'm having the same problems. Have you found a solution, Sanderfox?

My issue was caused by one or two bugs that have been fixed short after. If I remember correctly, one had something do to with the way Calibre output the file. The other I don't know, but I don't have the problem any longer. I didn't do anything to fix it myself.
In earlier versions of Sigil, a file was included that you had to run to install the Visual C++ 6.0 runtime components in Windows. Although it is as far as I know no longer included with Sigil, you could installing that. Perhaps it'll work. See here. Good luck! |

This FAQ item covers this. Install one of the linked components by hand. But the saving issue is not caused by that. The people for whom the runtime fails to install can't even start Sigil. The crash-on-save problem is caused by ZipArchive throwing an exception because it can't create the ZIP archive (the epub file) for some reason. I believe it's a permissions issue, but I honestly don't know. I can't get it to reproduce on my system, or any other I've tried. In Sigil 0.2.0, an exception handling system is in place and Sigil shouldn't crash on this anymore. It will output a message describing why the saving failed. When that happens, the users will be able to report the message on the tracker (it also contains some debug info) and then I'll be able to figure out what's going on. That's the idea at least. |

I have encountered this problem several times. It turns out that each time it was because I had the epub file open in Adobe Digital Editions Reader at the same time. I like to check how the TOC is working using ADE Reader. Once I close ADE Reader Sigil saves just fine. Unfortunatly when it happens I lose all the changes I have made.

But that's a user error, isn't it? Granted, Sigil shouldn't crash when this happens but gracefully stop the operation. And this is what it does in 0.2.0, now that the new exception handling subsystem is in place. |

me too!
I've just installed sigil 0.1.9 today (Windows Setup.exe). I downloaded and installed today and have had the same problems on saving.
Sometimes the save works great, others the save crashes the program without saving. I was working on "split" mode both times when saving, if that helps at all. Where do I post comments and suggestions about feature changes, by the way? I haven't weeded through all the posts to find that information yet. Cheers, K. |

Do you perhaps have the original file open in another application at the same time? Quote:
