I've been investigating use of svg images and came across this plugin which I've installed in Sigil 2.0.1 in linux UbuntuStudio 22.04 LTS.

I can't get the COPY function to paste into an existing page. The user guide mentions a procedure for Sigil < 1.0.0 but for higher versions, nothing is said about the copy/paste into an existing page. Looking into this thread, I see this problem has been mentioned before and I found that others have mentioned the workaround that I found - use the plugin to insert a new page, copy and paste the svg code where I wanted it and then delete the unwanted page. But I cannot help but think that is not the way it was intended.

Looking at my OS clipboard, the plugin doesn't write anything there when I use the COPY function. I haven't been able to understand what I need to do to get it working. Help, please.
