I've tried to use the next section in the BuildingOnLinux.md document "Testing Sigil's Python plugin framework" but can't get the 6 steps in that paragraph to work as described.

The Plugins/Manage Plugins menu 'Add plugin' button refuses to load testplugin_v010.zip with a Sigil error "Plugin not a valid Sigil plugin". (The Xarchiver won't touch this file either but I can read it in a text editor.)

I did download and install the FlightCrew plugin and this works ok.

Step 5 in the testing para refers to Plugins->Manage Plugins ->Edit but I don't see any edit option in the ManagePlugins dialogue.

In Sigil 0.9.0, the F7 key and the big green arrow on the tool bar activate a "SanityCheck' function rather than FlightCrew. I can get FlightCrew to work via Plugins/Validation/FlightCrew. Can F7 and the big green arrow be reassigned to FlightCrew or is that facility lost in 0.9.0 ?
