Quick Asset Manager
Blender’s Asset Library is powerful, but managing your own assets is unnecessarily tedious. Saving assets takes too many steps, and once they’re saved, Blender offers no easy way to rename, edit metadata, reorganize catalogs, or delete assets without manually opening files.
Quick Asset Manager fixes that.
It lets you save assets directly to your configured libraries with full metadata support, then manage those assets in place. Rename them, edit metadata and tags, move them between catalogs or libraries, swap them into scenes, or delete them entirely. No file hunting. No opening .blend files just to make a small change.
Features
- Direct Save: Save selected assets to any configured Blender library with one click, including optional catalog assignment.
- Editable Saved Assets: Edit any metadata fields or tags you desire in your saved assets
- Move & Organize: Move assets between catalogs or entire libraries without touching the filesystem
- Swap Assets: Replace selected scene objects by right-clicking any object or collection asset.
- Bulk Operations: Move multiple assets at once, or bundle them into a single .blend file for easy sharing.

If this tool saves you time, consider supporting development. It helps fund updates and the replacement of my dead GPU 😅.
What's New

Life saver here! I spent the last few days trying to set up libraries and such.... I wish Blender would make a cleaner format. Thank you gracious creative!
