K-Tools: Sync | Lock Viewport

Changelog

🚀 What's New

v2.8.1 (Stability & UX Update)

• Smart Session Persistence: Real-time Sync and Auto Master states are saved in .blend files and restored on load.
• Global Preferences: New menu in Addon Preferences to set defaults like "Auto Master ON".
• Auto-Refresh System: View List updates automatically when areas or windows change.
• Performance Optimized: "Heartbeat" system stops processing when the panel is hidden.
• Shading Presets System: Apply 10+ specialized visual analysis modes (Silhouette, Zebra, Normals, etc.) to individual viewports.
• Smart State Capture: Viewports remember their original shading/overlays and restore them when a preset is turned off.
• Upgraded Local View: Isolate objects across all active 3D views simultaneously.
• GPU Identify System: Enhanced text overlays to easily identify View IDs in complex layouts.
• Multi-Window Support: Full synchronization support for viewports in separate Blender windows.

Changelog

User Interface:

• Panel was redesigned.
• Settings for syncing are no longer a sub-panel, but a dropdown menu with easy access on top of the main panel.
• There is no longer 2 Panels but 2 new selectors for what options to be shown in the main panel, Sync or Lock. This makes the overall appearance of the panel cleaner and less messy.
• Translation support for: Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian.

(All the translations was made by Online Translators (better than nothing in most cases), if there is any error, suggestion or request for add more language support, please, contact me)

Functionality Upgrade:

• The Operator 'Identify Views' Now display a message direct on each 3D viewport and Window. This turns easier the view identification.

Sync View:

• The default Refresh Rate is now 0.01 Seconds (no delay). This change was made because the old bug for not being able to use Transform Gizmos while the refresh rate being low no longer exists since the previous update.

Lock View:

• The 2 options, Enable Camera Pan and Enable Pan on Lock are now displayed as a gizmos when enabling Special Gizmos. Both buttons still the same in panel.

(The icons for those options are weird, as for now blender does not allow custom icons on 2D viewport gizmos (this will change on future versions of Blender as the developers are working on such upgrade! I may change it later for a more suitable icon))

Changelog

Bug Fixes: Now Blender Gizmos (Move, Rotate, Scale) work properly on low Refresh Rate

New Features: Added 2 new operators:

Enable Pan on Lock: This feature make no longer necessary to Hold Shift on the view that are Locked via Lock Rotation.
