Here's an interesting tidbit. I decided to build 0.9.7 on a Kubuntu 14.04.1 system using the "Building_on_cutting-edge-linux.md" instructions. I installed Qt5.5.1 from the repos, including all the required packages per the instructions.
Sigil built and installed fine (and thanks for getting rid of those warnings!).
However when I tried to run the test plugin, I got the same "a plugin by that name does not exist" error as discussed on this old thread for sigil 0.9.5 (from repo). As before, if the plugin is launched via the plugin buttons, it runs (and reports no error).
When I rebuilt Sigil using Qt 5.4.1 from the official Qt website (which I've used for previous Sigil versions) the problem went away. I don't know if anyone ever got to the bottom of what was going on in the older case, but maybe the problem was in the Qt package(s), not the Sigil package.
