Error when attempting to install on Blender 3.5

Open TurboTodd2000 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I get the following error when attempting to activate the plug in.

Traceback (most recent call last); File "/Applications/Blender 3.5.app/Contents/Resources/3.5/scripts/modules/addon_utils/py",line 333, in enable mod = _import_(module name) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named "io_export_blend-1"

This is on Mac OS Ventura, version 13.4.1 (22F2083)

This issue is due to the dots characters in the release's zip file name and folder name.

User can fix it themselves:

  1. Go to the folder where you installed the addon, and rename it with no dots .. I.E. from io_export_blend-1.2 to io_export_blend-1-2.
  2. Back to Blender, in the Addon's preferences category, hit the Refresh button to make it update the path, and you should be able to enable the addon.

Tough it would be handy if the devs made a new sane release 😉 @Fweeb @jlampel

Thanks! This also fixes the issue on blender 4.1 (just to make it more searchable)
