Changelog

Key Optimizations:

1. Optimized Selection State for Hover Preview

  • The preview operation is now completely independent of the selection system. It no longer alters the selection state of any objects and does not write meaningless selection entries to the undo system.

2. Optimized Preview Panel Boundary

  • The display position of the preview window is now constrained to stay within the visible area of the Outliner, preventing any occlusion issues.

1. 悬浮预览选择状态优化

  • 预览操作将完全独立于选择系统,不再改变任何物体的选择状态,也不再向撤销系统写入无意义的选择记录。

2. 预览框显示边界优化

  • 预览窗口的显示位置已进行约束,确保停留在大纲视图的可见区域内,避免出现遮挡问题。

Changelog

New Features

  • Experimental Hover Preview: Introduced a "Hold Alt to Preview" feature. When enabled, holding the Alt key while hovering over an object in the Outliner will instantly display its preview, significantly speeding up browsing.
    To enable: Shift + Left Click the "Toggle Preview" icon in the Outliner header, then check the option in the pop-up panel.
  • Curve Support: Expanded preview capabilities to now support Curve objects.
  • State Persistence: The active state of the addon is now saved and will be automatically restored upon restarting Blender, eliminating the need to re-enable it every time.
  • Custom Positioning: You can now customize the preview window's position relative to the mouse cursor (Top, Bottom, Left, or Right) in the Addon Preferences to suit your workflow.

Improvements

  • Visual Enhancements: Optimized the shading algorithm to eliminate moiré patterns on high-poly meshes, delivering a smoother and more natural look.

新增功能

  • 实验性悬停预览:新增“按住 Alt 悬停预览”功能。开启后,在大纲视图中按住 Alt 键并悬停鼠标,即可即时预览指向的物体,浏览效率倍增。
    启用方法:Shift + 左键点击大纲视图表头的“切换预览”图标,在弹出的面板中勾选启用。
  • 曲线支持:预览能力扩展,现在支持直接预览 曲线 (Curve) 类型的对象。
  • 状态记忆:插件的开启/关闭状态现已持久化,重启 Blender 后会自动恢复到上次的使用状态,无需每次手动开启。
  • 自定义位置:在插件首选项中,支持自定义预览窗口相对于鼠标的显示方位(上、下、左、右),适应不同用户的使用习惯。

优化与改进

  • 视觉升级:重构了预览模型的着色算法,有效消除了高面数模型上的摩尔纹干扰,呈现更自然、平滑的视觉效果。
