BrowserAssist v1.32.0

BrowserAssist is a plugin that provides an alternative browser to VAM's built in Scene Browser. It has a range of features beyond those provided by the default VAM Scene Browser and aims to be more performant. Full details are on the hub here.

New Features:

• VAR Package resource type now provides a browser view by Packages. This view will support a range of VAR Management features in the future. Initial features include

  • Ability to offload, disable or enable individual packages (when VARManagement is enabled). This will not modify any VARManagement rulesets.

  • Filter to find VARs that have any missing dependencies.

  • Sort VARs by the count of Morphs and see the number of Morphs in each package (allows identification of packages that will have the largest fps performance impact)

  • Tag VARs and then use those tags in VAR Management rulesets

  • Info panel now contains stats on:

    • Morph Count in each VAR

    • Dependency Count (and missing dependency count). i.e. number of VARs that each VAR has a dependency on.

    • Used by Count - shows the number of VARs that depend on the selected VAR (the reverse of dependencies). This allows identification of VARs that can be deleted without breaking other VARs.

• New visual queue (a small purple square icon - similar to the green (favorite) and red (hidden) icons) in the Browser window indicates when resources have been offloaded or disabled by VARManagement.

• If the SymLinks to AddonPackages is not working then, the VARManagement tab in the plugin UI will now be visible but with an appropriate warning.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a performance bug that was impacting fps after repeated loading of scenes (when VAR Management was being used).

Available to Patreons here.

Free version will be available on hub here (normally a week after Patreon release).
