Hi, in the last few days I rewrote one of my plugin to use PySide6/PyQt5 (with DiapDealer's plugin_utils.py), and it seems to work ok with both frameworks.

I have one question, which is not strictly Sigil related: in the old plugin with tkinter I set up the word wrapping of the labels of a list of checkboxes to handle texts longer than the window width, and it was a process fairly convoluted. I was hoping that with PySide/PyQt that process would be much simpler, but to achieve a similar effect I had to subclass QWidget to bind together a QCheckBox with a QLabel, the source code is on github:
https://github.com/wrCisco/SigilPlug...ingcheckbox.py

Do you know if there is a better/simpler way to achieve that effect?
