Quick Asset Manager

Changelog

• Fixes a major saving error introduced in the last update
• Now properly finds the metadata fields for names, descriptions, etc when saving an asset instead of only when editing an asset.

Changelog

• Introduces a toggle-able edit mode when selecting a saved asset
• Allows native fields to remain for other add-ons to access them
• Now only replaces native fields when editing

These changes keep the add-on more compliant and compatible with other add-ons.

Changelog

• Changed from an unregister to a poll method for some blender panels
• Removed deprecated layout_type checks, now just draws without checking
• Fixed the move panel not supporting Chinese and other logographic languages.
• Stopped the category file from being moved/duplicated/deleted when messing with an asset in the "unassigned" category.
• Allows un-assigning an asset category to get a file back to the "unassigned" category.

Changelog

Major Changes

• New Panel Layout — All panels now live in blenders native tool menu! (N-panel in the asset browser)
• Full companion file support — textures, thumbnails, metadata, HDRIs, docs, and asset-named folders move and delete together.
• Improved delete behavior — removes all related files, cleans up empty folders, and sends everything to the system Trash.

New Features

• Move assets between libraries and catalogs with full data preservation.
• Edit metadata for existing library assets.
• Replace scene objects with library assets.
• Bundle multiple assets into shareable .blend files.

Improvements

• Correct catalog assignment when moving assets with companions.
• Handles multi-asset .blend files intelligently.
• Automatic cleanup of empty folders after move/delete.
• Safer, clearer feedback with detailed counts and logging.

Under the Hood

• Refactored core logic into focused modules.
• Cross-platform path handling and reversible deletions.

Changelog

User Experience & UI Improvements

• The "Asset Manager" and "Asset Bundler" panels are now organized in a more logical order in the sidebar, making it easier to find what you need.
• Actions like Replace and Delete have been moved out of the main panel and into the right-click menu in the Asset Browser. Just right-click an asset to quickly access these options, just like other Blender features.

Simpler, Cleaner Add-on

• Old settings for how assets are replaced (like the swap mode) have been removed, since these options are now handled by Blender’s own menus. This makes the add-on easier to use and less cluttered.

Changelog

• New: Edit asset name, tags, library, and catalog directly from the new management panel.
• New: Swap selected object(s) in your scene with a selected asset object/collection
• Deleted files now move to your system Recycle Bin/Trash, meaning this is no longer a permanent action. Uses the send2trash wheel for this.
• Asset Browser auto-refresh after move, delete, or edit
• Various bug fixes and improvements

Changelog

NEW Asset Management Window

• Suggested by NatureK88
• Transfer your saved assets from one library to another, or just change its catalog, without needing to open the .blend file directly!
• Delete whole assets, without needing to track down it's location in a file browser and deleting it's .blend file manually. This is PERMANENT!

Panel Label Overhaul

• Many of the labels have been changed, this change allows all the important labels and buttons to automatically translate to other languages thanks to blender's built in translation.

Minor refactoring and cleanup, such as removing redundant debug print statements and improving property naming for clarity.
