Won't install in Blender 3.2.0

[veganburrito86]

I don't get any error when I install the .zip file and the notification bar at the bottom of Blender says it installed it, but the addon does not show up in the list of addons and I don't see the menu to use it anywhere.

I apologise for the late reply. Can you give some more info? If there is no error shown, the addon should be installed. Can you try it once more, and see if the addon is present inside the blender addons directory?
Also what OS do you use, Windows, Linux or Mac?

If linux, which distro, and did you install Blender via the Ubuntu Software app, apt or snap?

There is no error, at the bottom Blender actually says it installed the addon. But it does not show up in the list of addons at all.

I do see the files installed to "AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\addons\stopmagic-main".

The issue was the way it put the files into the addons folder I guess because I got it to work. The folder structure in the addons directory looked like this:

And what I did was moved the files from that subfolder named "stopmagic" into the "stopmagic-main" folder, like this:

That got it to show up in the list, but then there was an error when I tried to check the box to enable it in Blender. So I had to rename the "stopmagic-main" folder to just "stopmagic" (I also removed the remaining "stopmagic" subfolder that was in the "stopmagic-main" in the previous screenshot):

Now I see the tab for the addon. 👍

I think Blender 3.2 might have changed the way addons are installed. Not sure though. Will look into it and update. Even though the issue is solved on your end, I am keeping the issue open until I am sure that everything works well.

Sounds good. Thanks for a neat addon. I have no need for it at the moment but saw it in a video and thought it looked cool!

Thanks. Hope it becomes useful for you one day.
