Godot Asset Library version doesn't import in `assets/` folder

[athyfr]

Usually, (as I have found,) addons downloaded from the Godot Asset Store are automatically placed in the assets/ folder.

When installing this addon by that method, it is placed in a folder outside of assets/.

My understanding is that the convention is to place third-party libraries/addons under addons/. See Godot Docs: Project Organisation

In this case, all files should be downloaded to addons/ldtk-importer/. I am not sure of other assets being downloaded elsewhere (except when it is a project template or something like that).

I am encountering this as well. That said I just drag Godot LDTK Importer to addons.

Should it be importing into /addons/ or /assets/?

The importer itself is an addon, it extends the editor to allow importing ldtk files. It's not an asset that you place into a scene. Do people want it under /assets/ anyway?

For me it imports into /assets/ when it should be importing to /addons/ otherwise I cannot enable it under the plugins tab.

ooohhh. that is a problem.

Indeed. The GitHub repo structure itself looks good, with the addons/(addon-name) subfolder so I'm not sure where it went wrong; maybe in the command you used to push the repository to the Godot Asset Library, where you indicated the wrong root folder? But I checked the submission doc (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/community/asset_library/submitting_to_assetlib.html) and I don't even see where you indicate a folder, you just give the URL...

Anyway this is what an install looks like:

And a correct installation:

There are many plugin devs around here as well as the Godot devs themselves who should be able to help you with this.

P.S.: we should change issue title to "Godot Asset Library version doesn't import in addons/ folder"
