Hello,

Can you send us in PM your blend scene ?
See 3) Provide Private Content

Thank you,

Hello Yasmine,

yes I can provide you with the blend file, I would need to remove all objects tho.
I have just tested this and the problem is still present with an empty file, just the collections and presets remaining.
Is that alright?

It would be perfect, can you also send a screenshot of the Blender console when you reproduce the bug ?

Thank you,

Yasmine

You mean a screenshot of all collections that should be there and a “after” screenshot that shows only the remaining ones after updating the exporter?

I mean the console of Blender to check if there is some script errors before and after the presets are lost:

Thank you for the explanation, I will reproduce the bug and then take a screenshot.

I will now upload the blend file and send it to the private content group.

Hello @b1e1n7e

This is fixed in SU5 Beta SDK 1.6.4.
Let us know if this is good for you.

Hey @FlyingRaccoon

I will be able to test this within the coming two days and will get back to you.

Hello @FlyingRaccoon

I just wanted to test the latest exporter but I am so far not able to install it. When trying to enable it in blender there is an error shown and the process fails. I have recorded a quick video demonstration below.

Maybe my current blender version is not compatible? I am working with 4.2 LTS.

Hello @b1e1n7e

Thank you very much, that solved it.

Now I was able to test the exporter and everything works well. My presets are recognized, all settings still there and overall no problems. Great job by the team.
