Not showing in the Addons list in 2.75 #2

Closed dilom closed 7 years ago

dilom commented 7 years ago

This could be a problem with my installation, but when I select the addon to install from file it does not show anywhere in my addon list. I checked manually in Import/Export and also searching for "selected" or "export" does not show the addon. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have recently made a bugfix for Blender 2.78 which makes the script incompatible with the earlier versions. I can add handling for previous versions too, I just assumed everyone uses the latest one anyway. Out of curiosity: why are you sticking with 2.75?

dilom commented 7 years ago

I need to make hardware changes to the system to update to the latest linux version and subsequently to update all the packages. Of course I could do manual install of several key programs but I might be stuck in some dependency nightmare. So far I have installed several popular and some niche addons and they seem to be compatible with the version I am using. I totally see why you can't support all legacy versions, but I guess it makes sense to have support going a year or two back just in case, unless it is very time consuming and counter productive.

Ok, I added some fixes to make it work in 2.75. Try using the latest commit.

Still not showing in the addon list. The log says it installed in the scripts directory and the file is there indeed.

dairin0d commented 7 years ago

Hm. Does it report any errors in the system console?

dairin0d commented 7 years ago

By the way, do any other addons in that directory show up in Blender?

dilom commented 7 years ago

Yeah the other addons in that directory work. Nothing appears in the console just green confirmation that it installed. The problem is that once I click "install from file" I don't see it in the addons list to enable it. I have enabled all supported levels and try searching for "export" and "export selected" and it doesn't come up. Tried clicking the Refresh button and still nothing.

dairin0d commented 7 years ago

Do I understand correctly that you were actually able to use some previous version of the addon? Or is this your first time installing it on your current system?

dilom commented 7 years ago

No this is the first time.

dairin0d commented 7 years ago

Can you look inside the other addons you have manually installed (and which you know to work)? There should be a bl_info = { line near the top of the file. Which version of Blender is mentioned there?

dairin0d commented 7 years ago

For the current Export Selected addon, this should be "blender": (2, 7, 0),.

Got it to work, the file I downloaded didn't override the old one I had initially. Just installed the latest version and it does work as it should!

Thanks for all the help!

You're welcome :-)
