BrowserAssist Alpha 2

Added 2022-05-10 21:03:19 +0000 UTC

This is the second Alpha release of BrowserAssist. It aims to be an alternative to the VAM Scene Browser, but with more advanced filtering and searching capabilities (such as by Creator). See the original post here https://www.patreon.com/posts/64654661

This version introduces:

VR Mode Support. Now works in both Desktop and VR. The Browser can be repositioned in VR by dragging on the O symbol in the bottom left corner.
Launch button is now available on the main VAM UI interface. It can be found to the left of the Add Person Atom button.
Browsing and loading of all person preset types as well as Scenes.
Two new resource ordering/sorting options. 'Package & Folder' orders resources alphabetically but grouped by VAR Package and Folder location. 'Catalogued Date' orders resources by the date that they are first scanned by BrowserAssist. On first load, all resources will be dated the same (and so ordered the same as 'Package & Folder') - but as new resources are added to VAM they will appear at the front of the list of resources. Currently you need to reload the BrowserAssist plugin any time new VAR resources are added to VAM.
Resource are split into pages. The number of resource per page can be configured in the plugin UI.
Multi select mode. This doesnt serve much purpose currently, but is included to show how you will be able to select multiple resources to apply tags to.

The next big feature to implement will be Tagging of resources. There are some significant technical and design challenges to tackle, but once the plugin can search and filter by user defined tags it will make a powerful tool for organising scenes and other resources.

Hope you enjoy the Alpha in the interim!
