Not appearing in add-ons after installing (Blender 2.90.1) #10

Going to Preferences → Add-ons → Install... and select the __init__.py, then in the console it says:

Modules Installed () from 'C:\\Users\\userName\\Downloads\\Auto_Reload-Blender_addon-1_3_1\\__init__.py' into 'C:\\Users\\userName\\AppData\\Roaming\\Blender Foundation\\Blender\\2.90\\scripts\\addons'

No errors, but the Modules Installed () ← bracket is empty?

Looking through the list of Add-ons, can't see Auto Reload listed anywhere, so can't enable it.

can you try to rename the zip and its content root folder to remove special characters from it ? (like "-") and replace them by "_" Blender doesn't like that and sometimes does not see installed addons because of it. You can also directly rename the folder where the zip was extracted (C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.90\scripts\addons)\auto_reload...) and try !

Checked and there were no spaces in the path. But It worked to manually copy it to the add-ons folder like you suggested. 👍 Very strange that the regular install approach didn't work.

yeah that's a special character isue, github generate some .zip with some upper dash (-) in the name, and this can be confusing for blender. If you remove it or change the name of installed folder, it often solves this issue ! Sorry for the inconvenience, i'll try to force github release without dash, but no idea of how to do it for now... Cheers !
