I mean, it's somehwat indicated, that for metraigs you have to be in edit mode: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.1/addons/rigging/rigify/metarigs.html

Ps that is the page i was talking, there its not described that you can encode a metarig and a sample

Yeah just saw that, i was looking at a different page and it didnt show antthing about that.
Thats why i created my addon, actually from this code, to make the saving part easier. I got a issue report today about it not working, ive not updated it to the new code yet

https://github.com/schroef/Rigify-Save-Presets

The archived version of the addon is not reachable. Only by using web.archive.org was i able to find the documentation again. But thats sort of the same as on the other page

This page does describe the encode feature a tiny bit. but lacks docu on what to do next. From the script editor, it doesnt work. user needs to more manual work in order to get that code working. The documentation doesnt describe the process of save that generated py file to a preset folder
