Hi!
I try to add the Access-Aide plugin to Sigil, but it does not work. I get the error message: "Error: Plugin not a valid Sigil plugin" and the plugin is not installed.
My system: win 11, chrome/Firefox, Sigil v2.5.2
The steps:
• Download the file Access-Aide-master.zip from https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Access-Aide
• In Sigil: Plugins / Manage plugins / Add Plugin and chose the zip-file. The button "Use bundled Python" is checked.
• Then i get the error message
I have tried to:
• Unzip the file, place it directly into Sigils Plugins folder and restart Sigil
• Download the file by both chrome and Firefox
• Restart the computer
• I already have the TagMechanic plugin, so some plugins is possible to install.
What can I do now? The zip-file does look a bit odd - it includes the name of the branch - master and it is an extra level of folders inside.
