%%%Was that even intended to work? My understanding is that addons should either be a single .py or a folder installed at the top level. Presets also need to be placed in a folder inside the folder for the addon, shouldn't the same be done for modules?%%%

%%%For the historical record...

The reasoning behind this is to support python (compiled) modules somewhere that is user writable so you don't have to muck around with sudo and/or mess up your package installed addons in /usr/share like is done with CPack or the official distro packages.

Also, if one (/usr/share/blender/.../addons/modules) works then the other really should have the same behavior.

Thanks Campbell.%%%
