I would also stick to one or the other (AppImage vs regular). The regular version of Sigil will always uncheck the "Use Bundled Interpreter" preference.

The AppImage will happily use an external Python for plugins, but then the user would have to jump through hoops to get all the necessary modules installed from 1) a repo package, 2) pip if your distro still allows it, or 3) a customized virtual Python environment.

Much easier to use the Python bundled in the AppImage.
Some time ago, in another thread, I tried out your 'new at the time' appimage for qt6, sigil-qt6-python3.11_x86_64.AppImage

This has been working impeccably with both the 2.5.0 I built from Master a few days ago and with the linux 2.5.0 appimage which I tried a few days ago also.

Seems a shame to dump it, but I guess it's redundant now.
