Save Presets directly from Scenes. Similar to importing, but now users can create new PErson and Atom Presets directly from a Scene without loading the Scene.
PluginUI settings to disable the <New Atom> target option for Import
PluginUI settings to disable disk caching of Scene Import files. This will save disk space but slow down scene import browsing and importing between BA plugin reloads.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue that had disabled all non-Person atom presets from being browsed in BA.
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 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.
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.
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
