Again, this is how clips have always been done in Sigil. Most clips are created there by default. Others move a few of the Example clips up and out. Clips in folders can not be assigned to a clip toolbar, nor have a shortcut defined. There are room for 60 clips that can be present on the toolbars.
The only new feature is the autofilling column that shows the Clip number so you can assign them more easily to short cuts. You should not be able to manually edit that auto-numbered column. If so, that is a bug I need to fix.

Ah!!! base path only !! That's the answer in Windows. The clip collection I imported from linux was placed into an 'Imported' folder. This was done automatically - I was not offered any choice.
Fortunately I was able to highlight the lot of them and slide them out of the Imported folder into the base in one go. And, voila! they all got numbered before my eyes.
The auto-numbered column items seems to be manually editable - you just have to double click on the name and type in a change. For example, I changed Clip6 to a simple '6' and it seemed to be accepted and saved, at least while that instance of Sigil is open. The shortcut still worked, but after closing and restarting Sigil, the 6 had been automatically rewritten to Clip6.
Whether you regard that as editable or not, I don't know.
However, what is the secret for using a shortcut numbered with double digits? On linux and windows, Ctrl+Alt+11 doesn't enter Clip11 but does enter Clip1 twice.
