Custom Shifter Components not loading in newer maya

[AndehPandeh]

Hi there,
Just had an issue with updating mgear from maya 2020 to maya 2023, namely the custom shifter components that Chris Lesage shared a few years ago, they were returning an error when loading the shifter guide manager:

# Warning: spine_horizontal_01 can't be load. Error at import
# Error: No module named 'settingsUI'
# Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "C:\Users\Anjoo\Documents\maya\modules\scripts\mgear\core\utils.py", line 156, in importFromStandardOrCustomDirectories
#     module = __import__(module_name, globals(), locals(), ["*"], level)
# ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mgear.core.shifter'

I think I fixed it by going into the guide.py file in each custom component’s folder:
C:\Users\Me\Documents\maya\modules\scripts\mgearCustomModules\spine_horizontal_01\guide.py
and just changed:

import settingsUI as sui
to
from . import settingsUI as sui

Everything seems to be fine so far

Thanks for writing this out! I had to do this today too, and remembered “settingsUI” from your post.

I made those custom components quite a few versions back, so some things have changed.

Also I edited your post to add backticks so the code formats as code.
