Path Actions

Changelog

Fixed

• Error when opening on new instance using a relative filepath (when using right-click menu on a library in outliner -> Open in new instance)

Added

• Alt + Clicking on open in new instance allow opening without extra arguments from command lines (tooltip shows when there are more than two, mostly interesting for dev and TD peoples)
• Shows a Copy Launch Command option in folder icon Alt menu when dev mode is enabled.

Changelog

Improved custom file history:

• when search found nothing in blend names, now shows an extra list when there is a match in full path to blend (foldable)

Changelog

Added:

Custom file history improvements

• Can also be called with shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shit + O
• Now have a search field to filter result:
  • When there is no exact result, try to fuzzy match blender name or parts of it

Quick opening of any addons preferences:

• New Single Addon Preferences button at the bottom of Alt menu (Alt + Click on folder icon). Popup a search fied to show a target addon preferences.
• Prefix enabled addons with 1, disabled ones with 0 for fast filtering.

More path related actions in library context menu

• Access in right-click menu on a library path when using blender file mode of Outliner
• added actions: open containing folder and copy path
• also add open in new instance in case of library blend file

Link checker (only available with Developer mode enabled in preferences):

• This is a quick link checker for the file in a popup window.
• Called from Alt panel on folder icon or in the header of the Blend file outliner mode
• List external files linked or used within current blend file
• Has search field to filter by libraries name ( Fallback search on path when nothing is found based on names)
• Can sort by Name, Path, Type or Status (valid or broken link)
• When it's a blend:
  • Open blend in new instance
  • Look for updates: if another blend in the same source folder has same basename and ends with an increment of current version, ex: name_001 -> name_002)
  • Allow to replace or edit filepath. Unlike native relocate, it just rewrites the filepath, blend (as could be possible before Relocate was added), file needs to be saved and reopened for the library change to take effect. warning: A bad use of this can break links in your file, you have to know what you're doing !
  • Incremental save is recommended before using any lib update or path rewrite, those two features are mainly for devs, TDs or advanced users. use with caution.
