Description

hello trying to figure out this bug that started occurring

looks like i can only access addons on the scenes they were installed on, if i make a new scene the addon disapears and if its reinstalled it gets this error message

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "X:\Program Files\Blender\2.80\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 330, in enable
  importlib.reload(mod)
File "X:\Program Files\Blender\2.80\python\lib\importlib\__init__.py", line 169, in reload
  _bootstrap._exec(spec, module)
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 630, in _exec

File "X:\Program Files\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Scatter_S1.py", line 62, in <module>
  class SCATTER_AddonPref(AddonPreferences):
File "X:\Program Files\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Scatter_S1.py", line 65, in SCATTER_AddonPref
  addon_prefs = bpy.context.preferences.addons[__name__].preferences

KeyError: 'bpy_prop_collection[key]: key "Scatter_S1" not found'

It looks like its looking for the objects i have in the scene and wont load if their not there, please help me fix this

thank you

I'm afraid that bug tracker isn't the place to ask for help for improving addons. You should refer to documentation appropriate for 2.80, or test the addon with 2.82a or 2.83.

Also devtalk or https://blender.chat (python channel) or sites at https://www.blender.org/community/ can be helpful. You can also look for addons on Github or in the repositories rBA or rBAC at https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/

Is that addon included in default setup ? If not, where to get it from?

but its not just this addon, its any addon, at one point i could enable the addon without getting the trackback error but then when enabling the add on it wouldn't actually enable

and got report that it is working great on 2.81 and 2.82 either.

Please test 2.82a.
