+- The launcher ``pyside6-designer`` must be used. The standalone
+ **Qt Designer** will not load the plugin.
+- The menu item **Help/About Plugin** brings up a dialog showing the plugins
+ found and potential load error messages.
+- Check the console or Windows Debug view for further error messages.
+- Due to the buffering of output by Python, error messages may appear
+ only after **Qt Designer** has terminated.
+- When building Qt for Python, be sure to set the ``--standalone`` option
+ for the plugin to be properly installed.
