Paid Plugins BrowserAssist

This version provides an alternative browser to the Clothing items browser in VAM. It allows browsing of hundreds of clothing items on a single page (compared to the 10 items per page in VAM). Tagging can be applied to multiple clothing items simultaneously. Supports the Favourite flag (not available in VAM browser).

Note that Clothing Tags are synced between VAM and BrowserAssist, but there are some limitations. Tag changes in VAM can be synced be using the Refresh button in BrowserAssist (or on a BrowserAssist restart). Tag changes in BrowserAssist are only synced to VAM when VAM is restarted. If tag changes are made in VAM before a sync is performed they may overwrite Tag changes that have been made in BrowserAssist for a given clothing item. To avoid conflicts, its advised that you either use BrowserAssist or VAM for clothing tag changes in a given VAM session.

New Features:

• Clothing Item browser - browse, tag and activate male and female clothing items. Complete alternative to the limited VAM Clothing browser.

Bug fix/Tweaks:

• When using the random load features, the randomly loaded resource will become the primary selected resource.
• Merge load setting is persisted by resource type rather than globally.

This version provides a number of features related to the 'Real Clothing' toggle that was introduced in VAM 1.21 recently. In this lastest version of VAM, every clothing item now has a toggle (on the standard VAM clothing Adjustments page) to indicate if the clothing item is "Real". By default every clothing item is set to be "Real". The intention of the toggle is to differentiate clothing items that are not real such as Hunting-Succubus' Eye Shading clothing items. These items (although implemented as VAM clothing items) are features of the persons anatomy rather than a worn clothing item. The only use of this differentiation that Meshed has implemented appears to be the option in the Clothing browser to "Remove All Real Clothing". This version of UIAssist extends that principle to a number of additional functions.

Note that the 'Real Clothing' toggle is only persisted when a piece of clothing is first created or it is subsequently modified and then saved in a scene or a preset.

New Features:

• Save Presets and Scenes directly from BrowserAssist UI. Options to do instant saving with unique filename. For preset saving, there are options to not capture a new screenshot for the thumbnail. Tags
• Introduced an 'Only Suppress Real Clothing' toggle as part of the Appearance Preset Load operation. This will mean that any non real clothing items are loaded as part of an appearance preset load - even when other real clothing items are suppressed.
• Introduced an 'Only replace Real Clothing' toggle as part of the Clothing Preset Load operation. This means that non real clothing items on the current target person are kept when a new Clothing Preset is loaded.
• Built in tags (e.g. gender tags) can now be set as 'Preferred' allowing them to be listed at the top of filter drop downs.

Bug fix/Tweaks:

• Fixed a few issues in VR where the Hide/Favorite/New toggles for a resource incorrectly appeared.

Bug fix:

• Fixed issue that was causing users Tag data to be periodically lost for local resources
• Fixed issue that resulted in loading SubScenes not creating new SubScene Atoms under certain conditions

New Features:

• Introduced support for SubScenes as a new resource type.
• Added the ability to set Tags as 'Preferred Tags' in the PluginUI settings. Preferred tags will be listed at the top of the Tags filter drop downs.
• Usability improvements to the Tags tab for resources. Includes the ability to expand the tag window area to show more tags without scrolling.

Bug fix:

• Fixed issue with Desktop Scaling not persisting between BrowserAssist restarts
• Fixed issue that was causing BrowserAssist to not load if a legacy meta data folder was detected

I'd strongly advise BrowserAssist users to backup their Tags meta data from time to time. See here for details on how to do that.

Bug fix:

• Fixed issue on startup caused by missing folders under Custom\Atom

• Introduced additional Preset Resource Types for all non-Person Atoms e.g. CUAs, Lights, Empty, AnimationPatterns etc.
• Each Resource Type can now be optionally concealed - allowing the removal of any resource types that are not used from the Resource Type dropdowns.
• Minor improvement to the scrolling of the tags window - it no longer resets every time a resource is selected.

New features:

• The number of selected resources is now shown on the resource browser window
• Supports seamless switching between UIAssist & BA when both are attached to the VAM UI (requires UIAssist v2.10).

One additional bug fix which I accidentally introduced in the 1.11.2 release:

• Fixed the integration with UIAssist which was causing an error in UIAssist when using the option to select resources using a BA browser window.

Additional bug fixes with the 1.11 release:

• Fixed an issue with Rescans not working for Local folders
• Fixed a performance issue that was manifesting in some circumstances (possibly related to the number of Resource thumbnails)
• Fixed an issue with Preset files that not pre-fixed with 'Preset_' from causing an error on startup
• Fixed the position of the BA launch icon conflicting with the VAM UI on the initial Top menu

Also added the ability to adjust Desktop Scale using a UIAssist button.
