Welcome to Add-on manager™
for Blender
Quickly switch between sets of addons (and their preferences) using a preset system.
Thank you for your support!
When registered, the Addon Manager adds the "Addon Presets" and "+" buttons to the Preferences' navigation bar (and, optionally, to the View tab in the 3D Viewport's right-side shelf).
To create a new preset, click the "+" button. It will open a dialog where you can provide a name for the new preset, and clicking OK will create the preset from the current list of addons and their preferences. If a preset with that name already exists, it will be overwritten.
To see the list of saved presets, click the "Addon Presets" button. Each row has a button named after the corresponding preset (which applies the preset), and an "X" button (which deletes the preset). Applying a preset first disables all addons, then enables the addons saved in the preset and restores their preferences to the state saved in the preset.
Presets can also be imported from and exported to the file system (the corresponding options are located in the context menu - simply right-click on any preset-related button).
Show in 3D View: this option shows or hides the Addon Manager buttons in the 3D Viewport's View tab.
