Blender addons

#1

Hi All,

I am trying to install some import/export addons and I’m having some problems…

When I go to install the addon in user preferences it states that it is already installed which is great but I can’t see the addon in any list let alone in the file/export list.

Can anyone shed any light on what I need to do to get my plugins visible?

I have taken a look at this…but I’m not really familiar with python script and I’m not sure what to do with this information.

Cheers,
Simon

Ok, just installed Blender 2.55 and have managed to install the first of my import/export plugins and it has shown up in the add-ons list in user preferences.

When I go to install the next one or any other add-on it doesn’t appear in the list.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong?

If the addon is not include with the blender package, you need to check first that it is actually compatible. The addon API has been in flux during development, and if the addon you are trying to install is not up-to-date with the current API, then it will not load.
