Hi, thanks for the report. MDD I/O seems to work correctly here in 4.1 release build.
If particular file is failing during import/export, could you attach it?

Hi! I have the same problem. Import and export appears in ligth grey so I can´t use this format. Please find an example attached.

Yes, can confirm. This seems related to the poll function only allowing I/O if mesh is active object

Indeed the poll function looks faulty, see: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-addons/src/branch/main/io_shape_mdd/init.py#L120-L122

    def poll(cls, context):
        obj = context.active_object
        return (obj and obj.type == 'MESH')

Add-on looks very outdated.

@PratikPB2123 This is unsurprising that it only works on meshes given that the add-on is meant to export animations as a shape key animation and import the shape key animation to a mesh. The description of the add-on states: Import-Export MDD as mesh shape keys. I just did a quick test on Blender 4.1.0 on Linux and it works as expected for me.

Thanks @Imaginer . Yes, make sense. Did not check add-on is specifically exporting "shape keys" :)
Closing.
