BrowserAssist v1.6 Release
Added 2022-10-15 14:47:07 +0000 UTCNew Local Folder Features:
- Local resources (i.e. non VAR packaged) can now be filtered by a specific folder. Optionally you can include resources in sub-folders or not.
- Popup tree browser allows easy navigation and selection of folders. Options allow renaming, deleting, moving and creating of folders. (Requires the SymLinks bat file to be run first - see hub for instructions).
- Selected local resources can be moved between folders.
New resource info tab allows:
- Renaming of local resource files
- Assigning an alias to resources, which acts as a rename for packaged resources
- Change the thumbnail image of local resources - using a screenshot or previously saved image
- Create custom thumbnails for Packaged resources
- Make persistent free text notes about each resource
Additionally the resource page and scrollbar in the main browser window remember their positions when switching between resources.
Its highly recommended that you use the new features for moving and renaming local resources rather than the Windows File Explorer. Any tag data related to local resources is lost if a resource is renamed/moved using Windows File Explorer. Moving resources using BrowserAssist ensures that all the tag and other meta data associated with a resource is maintained.
No changes to the HubThumbnails VAR. but it's re-included in the attachments for completeness (it provides thumbnail images for common plugins if placed in the AddonPackages folder).
