Paid Plugins BrowserAssist

New Features:

• Introduces Import options on Appearance, Morph, General and Clothing Preset imports. This includes features such as Suppress Scale and Clothing on Appearance import.

This version introduces Import from Scene capabilities. This allows components of a scene to be imported into the current scene without having to load the scene. For example, you can import a person's appearance/look direct from the scene without having to open the scene or create an appearance preset.

New Features:

• Import Person Presets (e.g. Appearance, Clothing etc) direct from a scene
• Import Atom Presets (e.g. CUA Preset) direct from a scene.
• Create new atoms as copies of atoms from a Scene without opening the scene.

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved a bug that was preventing CUA atoms being created when browsing CUA resource types

New Features:

• New Backups feature to quickly backup and restore BA meta data such as Tags
• New Reset feature to reset BrowserAssist
• Added Remove All Clothing button on the Clothing Presets action tab
• Added Load Defaults button to the Clothing Items action tab
• Added features to create a default Appearance Preset name when saving based on source scene Atom name or the current preset name
• Added support for Tag names to include other non alpha numeric characters (except a comma)

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved issues where side Tags panel was partially appearing when right aligned and other scenarios
• Fixed an issue that was causing duplicate local resources after a folder move operation
• Resolved an issue where shift, control and alt keys were triggering the multi select functionality undesirably. The keys will only now activate multi select when the pointer is over the resource thumbnails.

Bug Fixes:

• Addresses a specific issue that some users were experiencing with v1.18.0 which prevented plugin loading due to duplicate meta data entries (present due to problems from earlier versions).

WARNING: Please backup your tag meta data before using this version (see instructions here). Once upgraded you wont be able to roll back to a previous version of BrowserAssist without restoring your tag data from the backup. Please note that I'm also away for almost 2 weeks following this release, so I'm not going to be able to support any issues until I return (please report as usual).

New Features:

• A new tab under clothing items allows browsing and loading of individual Clothing Item Presets - these are the configuration of single item of clothing (rather than clothing presets which are multiple clothing items formed into complete outfits)
• Options to load just the material settings (e.g. colors and textures) or just the non-material settings (e.g. physics) of a Clothing Item Preset.
• A special 'Primary' tag for Clothing Item Presets designates a single preset as primary and optionally will merge its non-material settings (e.g. Physics) with other preset loads. This allows Physics to be set for one Primary preset but then applied on other preset loads, allowing you to optimize the physics settings once rather than on multiple presets.
• Save, delete and rename local (i.e. not in VAR packages) clothing item preset files. Requires the SymLinks functionality to be enabled.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a range of tag data storage issues that were causing failures on BA startup. Hopefully the occurrences of meta data stores being corrupted will be much reduced.
• Fixed an issue with BASettings.cfg not loading on startup due to a default Tag filter setting.

New Features:

• In the PluginUI, Creators can be marked as 'Preferred' for a given resource type (e.g. Scene or Appearance Preset). Once marked as preferred then they will appear at the top of the Creators filter drop down list in the main Browser window.
• The sort order for the Creators drop down in the browser filter, can now be configured on a per resource type (or kept as the default order). Sort order is either alphabetically or by resource count.

Bug Fixes:

• Combi tags were not persisting between plugin reloads.
• Combi tags were not always refreshing correctly when dependent tags were changed

New Features:

• Custom Unity Asset (CUA) browser - browse, tag and activate CUA and Scene asset bundles.
• Remove All Clothing button added to the clothing browser actions.

This version provides some defect fixes & tweaks:

• Resolved issue that was causing issues when deleting VARs that contained clothing items
• Tweaked the clothing items browser to make it more performant
• Introduced a warning dialog that appears once to inform users how Clothing item Tags are synchronised between VAM and BrowserAssist
• Introduced a warning dialog that appears once to inform users about the SymLinks batch file. Wont appear if SymLinks have already been setup.

This version provides some defect fixes:

• Resolved issue that was causing duplicate Tags to appear under certain conditions
• Corrected the built in Clothing Type tags for Male Clothing items

New Features:

• Additional Tagging window. Optional side bar can now be opened allowing a larger list of Tags to be selected from when applying Tags to resources. Can be opened using the '<' button in the top right corner of the Tags action tab.

Bug fix/Tweaks:

• Fixed a bug causing clothing items to be missing if the containing VAR was removed and then replaced.
