Hello, I'm trying to install / activate your AddOn v.0.1.1 but I get the following error:

`Traceback` (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.2/scripts/modules/addon_utils.py", line 335, in enable
    mod = __import__(module_name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mdsanima-render-time-0'

Best regards, Eric

Hi @sbgraphic

After downloading the add-on, I think you need to remove the extra characters from the .zip filename that indicate the version number. Make sure the filename is mdsanima-render-time.zip and next you can start the installation.

Here is a instruction how to install. Make sure you do everything as I wrote.

Please let me know that's work for you?

Hello, thank you, sorry for my late response. If I removed the version number, the activation is possible, but If I only rename the .zip, I also get the error mentioned above. So to get this right, I had to:

  1. remove previous installation manually, 2. decompress the AddOn zip, 3. rename it's folder without version number, 4. recompress that folder in .zip, 5. install the AddOn as usual or described. So I guess it's quicker to:
  2. decompress the zip and renamed it as in 3. and moving it directly and manually into the blender library folder. Another option would be that the AddOn source folder should not have the version number in it's original filename but only in the .zip filename ? or it would be nice to mention to remove the version number before install in your instructions.

Thanks a lot, I'm happy to try it asap !
