Hi Branskugel, This is a wierd bug. Do you by any chance have either Stamp Info or Video Tracks installed? It is possible that a conflict exists somewhere here. Otherwise... Well, I'll investigate. I'm about to do a new release - end of week - hopefully it should be fixed in it.

Branskugel commented 2 years ago

No, I do not have any of those installed but my blender config is rather custom, still I don't see any obvious sign of a conflict, but I'm no programmer

Hi @Branskugel , I tried to reproduce your installation bug and failed to face the issue. Could you please try this:

uninstall shot manager
close Blender
relaunch it in admin mode (this is very important! To do so )
reinstall the add-on and reactivate it At this stage it should work and you can restart Blender in normal mode for a normal use.

Let me know if that solve your problem.

Thank you

Branskugel commented 2 years ago

You were right. Installing it with admin privileges did work. Thank you

Great! I still have to do a video to present the installation requirements. This may have been useful here :)
