What's New
1.2.0 February 8th, 2025
Improvements
- In Show Data-Block Users, the nodes in a geometry node tree using the image, object, or material are now shown.
- Go To Data-Block now uses the pinned node editor if it's the only one available.
- Go To Data-Block now reports when no node editor is open.
- Find Similar and Duplicates is faster.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where jumping to a node via Go To Data-Block would make the node editor's view locked to selected nodes until the .blend file is reopened.
- Fixed an issue where Find Similar and Duplicates could show an incorrectly large group of similar node trees.
- Fixed an issue where Go To Data-Block could give an error with grease pencils.
- Fixed an issue where Find Similar and Duplicates would give an error with undefined node types.
- Fixed an issue where an error would be given when re-hiding objects that have been deleted.
Very useful and well made
This is the one and only life-saving tool I've ever looked for. Great addition!
Fantastic addon! Reduced a lot of work by removing some the duplicate materials and meshes from an .skp file, took a while (there were 400 materials and 1k meshes) but it's understandable. Thanks for it :D
