Isotammi installation has failed

AIO64-6.0.1–1
win11pro

I have installed the isotammi collection of addons through the add-on manager using
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taapeli/isotammi-addons/master/addons/gramps60
I didn’t get any error message, but they don’t show up in the menu. Not even after a restart.
The folders and files were created at: AppData\Roaming\gramps\gramps60\plugins
I checked.
So what did I miss?

They are “Advanced” addons. You have to change the filter in the Addon Manager.
But that’s for install.

Because they are “advanced”, they often have different interface and you have to read the docs to determine where they are accessed.

Which isotammi addon are are you trying to find?

Many of the addons will show up under menu >> Tools >> Isotammi Tools and Experimental Tools.

I am aware they are an advanced addon. I have worked with it on v5.02 extensively. I have added the appropriate URL to the addon Manager and clicked ‘Check now’ button. After that nothing appeared, so I checked the folder (as given in my original question) and see all the folders were created. There is no menu to be found.

Ok. But which Isotammi addon are to trying to use?

(Note that if you copied over the v5 plugins folder, it is possible that they did not update to to the 6.0 version. Also, the addons folder locations changed from v5 to 5.2 and again in 6.0 version. So troubleshooting duplicate folders may be necessary.)

Finally, starting Gramps from the command line gives more diagnostic feedback for addon loading failures.

Trying to use the NameEditorTool. But I have solved it now. I have deleted V5.2 completely, inclusing the AppData\Roaming\gramps\gramps52\plugins folder. Then manually put the content of the isotammi-addons-master (correct version) I downloaded from GitHub in AppData\Roaming\gramps\gramps60\plugins folder. Overwriting existing occurences.
The commandline did not register any errors before or after.
Thank you for helping
