And thank you for testing and reporting back bugs! They have helped immensely.

And the AppImage work was 100% DiapDealer! So all thanks to him!

FWIW, I consider his AppImage work to be the best thing anyone has done for Sigil in quite a long time. It finally allows us to release a version that works across many Linux distributions that has the exact same capabilities and Qt bug fixes that we give to our Mac and Windows versions. We are no longer at the whims of the Linux distributions that regularly dismantle Sigil into pieces that not everyone installs or even can install (ie. PySide6 anyone?), while adding their own patches willy nilly depending on what they want.
