That is strange. That error message actually comes from Sigil itself, not the plugin. It validates all of the paths/info passed to the plugin itself.
There is no reason for that to fail unless the install is literally missing pieces or the python code itself is missing permissions to actually execute on M1/M2 machines.
Or perhaps you have renamed the plugin folder somehow or renamed the plugin before installing it?
The thing is that is pure python (.py) code that should run on any platform.
Are you 100% sure you have actually downloaded and installed Sigil directly from our github release page and not from someplace else?
Please look at the About Sigil page. What is the exact Build date and time?
Where are you keeping the Sigil.app application? Is it in /Applications or someplace else?
Something is very broken just for plugins but working for the embedded python otherwise Sigil would fail at startup.
This is very strange.
Perhaps Apple in its push for security has prevented py code from being run from inside the Sigil.app? Or perhaps its permissions are messed up.
Unfortunately, I do not yet own a M1/M2 build machine as I just bought a new MacBook Pro i7 intel box literally days before they announced the move to Apple Silicon.
But no one else has reported any issue running plugins, so I doubt it is that.
