Ability to move html files from Text to Misc folder #2375

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Well first, I want to say that Sigil is probably the most useful program I've 
used as a writer. I actually do a fair bit of creative writing directly in 
Sigil, so that I can have the book read and proofed on the fly in epub.

One thing that would be extremely useful would be the ability to move html 
files in and out of the Misc folder within Sigil. This way, one could output 
different versions of a book, some including chapters that that are still being 
written, some without those chapters. This would also allow one to move all of, 
say Part 2 of a book into the Misc folder, allowing the book to be exported 
showing only Part 1. 

The Misc. folder already exists, but there is no easy way to move html files 
from the Text folders into Misc and back again. Obviously I can do this by 
unzipping the file and manually moving the files around, but it would be great 
if this could be done by drag-and-drop or cut-and-paste from within Sigil.

Thanks again for doing such a good job on this project.

Files are put in the Misc folder based on their extension.  Just rename your 
.html file to .txt, save, then re-open and it will be in misc.  Rename again to 
.html, save, open, and it's back as a chapter.

Excellent! This has saved me a lot of headaches (I only wish I had checked back 
a bit earlier...). You guys are doing fantastic work!
