New version available! v0.3
Lot of cool new features and so much better/safer managing of assets.
New Features:
- Sort columns descending/ascending
- Resize columns actually works (good enough)
- Move button added, moves selected items to a different folder.
- Ref Viewer button: Shows the Reference Viewer tool with the selected assets
- Size Map button: Shows the Size Map tool with the selected assets
- Missing plugin warning: A red box with a warning will appear if the project does not have the AssetManagerEditor plugin enabled (the ref viewer and size map are part of that plugin), it will also disable the buttons that require that plugin.
Changes:
- Delete button now uses the editor’s built-in Delete Assets window, for safer delete and one last confirmation that your assets are not referenced before they get deleted.
- Browse button now uses a custom C++ function, so the plugin does not depend on the EditorScriptingUtilities plugin anymore
- The plugin does not require the EditorScriptingUtilities plugin to be enabled anymore, it will no longer fail to compile or show errors if it isn’t.
- The plugin now requires the AssetManagerEditor plugin enabled to access some features, but it will still compile/work without it (features will be disabled)
- Better UI, custom icons, and faster refreshing/filtering
- Auto refresh on start
- Auto refresh on move/delete
- Filters now work in addition to the column sorting
- A red warning message will appear if unused redirectors are detected, these can appear in some conditions (seems to happen when source control is setup with Git) and can lead to wrong data being displayed. The message also shows a How to Fix redirector help box.
Known Issues:
- Column resizing is not great
- If Show levels is on in the Settings, it’s not possible to use Move on a level. (delete works) It also only shows the World (Build Data) but never the levels.
- Still can’t multi select using the mouse
This is my first time using C++, I had to for some of these features that were just not possible in BP.
It was pretty painful but it has been working pretty well in all my tests.
