Sigil is a tabbed editor for the EPUB format commonly used in eBooks. The program includes basic formatting, customizable fonts and styles, hotkeys and spellcheck. You can generate a table of contents, embed files (audio, video, or other), edit/add metadata, rearrange or split pages, add vector (SVG) images and available "clips" for frequently entered text.
As the format is based on simple HTML, the program includes a WYSIWYG-style book vs. code view, the ability to modify cascading style sheets and additional functionality via plugins. The program can even shrink some eBooks by discarding unused media elements.
Cross-platform with clients for Linux, Mac and supports many languages. Sigil Portable is a wrapper version of the program and an outdated X-Sigil is also available.

HashMyFiles by nirsoft offers both those options BTW. My most frequent use for hashing programs is finding duplicates. Si I'm using HashMyFiles. It also has a add to context menu option.

Updating the program seems to ignore and overwrite _every_ previous setting with defaults. Overwriting prp.dat and prp.ini with older ones with correct settings does nothing after starting the program again. Going from 190601 to 210522 (or 1.0.2.0 to 1.0.2.5). Should upgrade progressively with intermediate versions? |

Nice little player. The website has a page with plugins, but it's slightly misleading. The "Qmmp Plugin Pack" download directs to the player itself, and the others require building from source/installed dependencies.

@Realist, I believe the more we have the better they will all get or they go away, after all competition makes the world go round. I would agree if all are the exact same then it is a waste, but coders usually try and add something more useful that the last version doesn't have. Just my thoughts. :) |
