PixelSync Porter is a high-performance utility designed to seamlessly migrate your entire Blender workspace across versions 4.2 to 5.1+. Developed for professional artists and technical developers, it ensures your custom pipeline moves with you, exactly as you left it. 🚀 Why PixelSync Porter? Migrating Blender often means losing hours re-installing add-ons and tweaking preferences. PixelSync Porter automates this with a "One-File" philosophy: one zip, all your settings. 🛠️ Key Features:
• Total Workspace Migration: Backs up Preferences, Custom Keymaps, Installed Add-ons, and Extensions in a single, organized archive.
• Super-Resilient Progress System: Features a real-time status counter that monitors every file. You'll know exactly what’s happening, from the first config to the last 4K texture.
• Anti-Freeze Technology: Our unique "Heartbeat" UI refresh prevents Blender from entering a "Not Responding" state, even during massive 5GB+ backups.
• Smart Chunked Compression: Handles massive library files in small chunks, ensuring system stability and constant UI feedback.
• Developer-Grade Filtering: Automatically skips junk like pycache and .git folders, keeping your backups lean and efficient.
• Secure Path Detection: Automatically detects configuration paths for Blender 4.2+ (including the new Extensions system).
🛡️ Reliability First:
Designed with a "Zero-Failure" mindset, PixelSync Porter validates your backup structure before finalizing, ensuring that what you export is exactly what you’ll restore.

• High-Inclusion Mode: Backup size threshold increased to support heavy professional setups (up to 5GB+ handled smoothly).
• Garbage Clean-up: Intelligent filtering of pycache and .git folders to keep your backup ZIP clean and functional.
Fixed:
