BrowserAssist v1.18

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).

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:

• 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.
