UIAssist Changes
- UIAssist can now be docked to the main VAM UI in VR. I'd recommend trying this mode for VR usage, as I find it better than docking to the wrist. It's easy to seamlessly switch between the VAM UI, UIAssist and BrowserAssist (requires v1.11.4 or higher). Can be activated from VR Settings in the plugin UI.
- An additional row of Quick Launch buttons can now be configured
- Additional button operations to set the VAM Performance settings...

One additional bug fix which I accidentally introduced in the 1.11.2 release:
- Fixed the integration with UIAssist which was causing an error in UIAssist when using the option to select resources using a BA browser window.

Additional bug fixes with the 1.11 release:
- Fixed an issue with Rescans not working for Local folders
- Fixed a performance issue that was manifesting in some circumstances (possibly related to the number of Resource thumbnails)
- Fixed an issue with Preset files that not pre-fixed with 'Preset_' from causing an error on startup
- Fixed the position of the BA launch icon conflicting with the VAM UI on the initial Top menu
Also added the ability to ...

Minor bug fix for an issue that I thought was fixed in the last release:
- Bug fix: resolved an issue with toggle buttons and the 'user chosen' target atoms setting. These stopped working when a new scene was loaded.

I forgot to include this in original release notes for yesterdays release. I've updated it now, but thought it was worth drawing it to people's attention:
- The gender tags (male or female) for Presets now impacts the default target atom whenever a new resource is selected. It will alter the target atom to be the first available person in the scene of the matching gender. Similar logic applies for the Session and Scene tags for plugins.

This is the first Beta release of BrowserAssist. It's functionally complete enough to be considered a Beta release now and, in my view, its a fully viable alternative to the VAM Scene Browser. The main new features are:

- Support for applying VAM Hidden and Favourite flags from within Browser As...

Progress on the Browser Assist tagging system is going well. The bulk of the work is complete but there is still some refinement before I can release the next Alpha version. I hope to release Alpha 3 in early June. There are lots of other minor refinements I've been making as I go along. There are a few screenshots on my Discord here:
