Missing manifest error message when installing ZenUV

AM_272 · November 17, 2024, 5:49pm

Hey, I’m trying to install ZenUV addon, but I keep recieving a series of different error messages. At first the add on tells me it’s missing the manifest from the installation

ZenUV

Missing manifest error message:

And after looking around I believe you use the blender_manifest github and copy and paste it inside the add on you wish you download. However, I still get missing the manifest error message

Blender Manifest:

github.com

polygoniq/engon/blob/master/blender_manifest.toml

schema_version = "1.0.0"

id = "engon"
version = "1.3.0"
name = "engon"
tagline = "Browse assets, filter and sort, scatter, animate, adjust rigs"
maintainer = "polygoniq <[email protected]>"
type = "add-on"

website = "https://docs.polygoniq.com/engon/1.3.0/"
tags = ["Add Mesh", "Animation", "Material", "Mesh", "Object", "Scene", "User Interface"]
blender_version_min = "4.2.0"

license = [
  "SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later",
]
copyright = [
  "2018- polygoniq xyz s.r.o",
]

Error message

Manifst copied into the ZenUV add on file

I found this forum explaining how you need to change the ID within the manifest file to the same name as the add on file, I tried this as well but I get this error message instead

Changed ID within the manifest to the same name as the add on file

New error message

I tried to messge around with the ID name like ZenUV and Zen_UV-Core_Library (using no spaces), but still no luck!

Thanks

You can specify the path of the file in the Addon setting.

This… is a bit disturbing…
You wanna add the Zen UV - Core Library but doesn’t seem to do this as explained in the link you gave. You also speak of ZenUV but the eplanation explicitely says:

Be sure that Zen UV add-on is already installed.

…and the Zen UV core it’s a module for this.

Then you want to copy a blender_manifest.toml file from another project (polygoniq) !? And you screenshot clearly shows that there is already one and because of this is showing blender_manifest (1).toml…

You need to restart from scratch…changing this and changing ID and the like will never work…
First, get the latest version of the add-on and the manifest for that latest version
Go here and follow the instructions >>>>
