New page for Chapter

[mnjames]

When I choose this sequence

somehow... magically... a new page shows up before chapter 1. I say magically because the temporary .SFM file which is produced doesn't include \pb anywhere.

When I choose this sequence, I get \pb's where expected and everything works.

But, since this sequence leads to the 2nd tick box being grayed out, I assumed it was equivalent to the first sequence.

In reality it's not, it's equivalent to the 2nd sequence.

Personally, I'd like the two buttons to be completely independent. One which says Start 1st Chapter on a New Page and which adds \pb in the .SFM file before \c 1, and a 2nd button which says Start All Other Chapters on a New Page and which adds \pb only before \c 2 and later.

If I'm printing a book without intros but with book titles, I'd like to be able to add chapter breaks only for chapters 2 and later.

Understood. We'll get to it soon.

One side note:
I can use changes.txt to add the page breaks myself, but only by using \pagebreak. Any regex involving \pb doesn't work. Is there a reason for that?
'\\c ' > '\\pagebreak\\c ' works
'\\c ' > '\\pb\\c ' doesn't

That last comment seems strange to me. I have tested these and they behave identically on my system. (So I wonder what else might be different in your USFM, or are there other rules doing something strange?)

"\\c " > "\\pb\\c "
"\\c " > "\\pagebreak\\c "

Although, for neatness, I prefer:
"\\c " > "\\pb\n\\c "
