I've run some checks on my W10 box - it was running Sigil 1.9.30 with a version of QT5 and the InsertImageSVG plugin worked in all the modes but Sigil wouldn't display the images. And I tried with jpgs and pngs but every time I just got a generic image icon displayed.

So I moved Sigil up to V2.0.1 and I see it comes with Qt6.5.2. But the behaviour was the same - the plugin copied to clipboard ok or inserted a new file but the images wouldn't display inside the <svg> tags in Sigil.

Back in my linux box, I see Sigil 2.0.1 only has QT 5.15.10. Is that because I have a flatpack version installed in order to keep up with the latest version of Sigil without having to build it myself?

But Sigil in the linux box does display the pngs, jpgs and gifs correctly inside the <svg> tags although nothing seems to get copied to the clipboard.

So the new question is why the images inside the <svg> tags display ok in the linux box but not in the W10 box with the same Sigil version although the Qt is more up to date in the W10 box?
