Hi everyone,

I've been trying to save my nodes using the "Node Presets" Add-on. When I go through the steps I don't find any .blend files of the node groups in the designated file, so I can't load anything from shader editor's Add menu. I might be doing the wrong thing. I went to Blender's manual and couldn't find any description of how to use this Add-on.

Any guidance is appreciated

In the Add-ons preferences, you will find a path that points to the directory where presets are stored. Put blend files that includes the needed node groups in that directory and you should be able to add them to your project. But the add-on doesn't store groups automatically, so this is not a bug.
