Compatibility

Now loading the desired Texture Set is much more easier! With the new Operator 'One-Click Setup' the user can setup the entire material in less clicks than before!

When selecting the files you have the option to clean the material before setting everything up.

Convert to K-Tools BSDF: Automatically replaces the standard Principled BSDF with the "K-Tools: BSDF", seamlessly transferring all existing values and connections.
Convert Images to Loader: Scans the material, identifies textures, and packs them into the "K-Tools: Maps Loader". It automatically applies Color Space, Interpolation, and Projection settings, reconnects the Vector mapping, and cleans up the original loose nodes.

"Prefer Packed Maps" Filter: A new preference that detects ORM/ARM maps during the loading phase. If found, it automatically skips redundant singular maps (AO, Roughness, Metallic) to save VRAM.
Auto-Toggle: Automatically enables the "Use Packed Texture" switch on the Loader node when a packed map is detected.
Smart Connections: The "Connect Groups" operator now reads the Packed state. When active, it automatically routes the internal ORM data to the BSDF, seamlessly bypassing empty singular image nodes.

Asset Browser Sync: Manage the K-Tools Asset Library directly from the add-on preferences with a real-time, 1-click register/remove toggle.
Robust Shortcut Management: One-Click Setup is now bound to Alt + T by default. The preferences panel includes native keymap editing and a bulletproof "Restore Default" button that cleanly overwrites Blender API conflicts.
