Feature Request: Add an “Update Available” Filter to Fab Library in Epic Games Launcher
Hello Epic Games / Unreal Engine Team,
I would like to suggest a simple improvement for the Epic Games Launcher, specifically the Fab Library section under the Unreal Engine tab.
Currently, the Library tab can show an orange notification indicator when something needs attention. However, if the notification is related to an item in the Fab Library, it is not easy to know which asset or plugin needs an update.
The user has to manually scroll through the Fab Library and search item by item until they find the outdated one. This becomes difficult when the library is large.
A very helpful solution would be to add a filter option under “Filter by” called:
“Update Available”
or:
“Needs Update”
When selected, it would show only Fab Library items that have pending updates.
This would make the orange notification indicator much more useful and would save users a lot of time.
Suggested behavior:
-
Add an “Update Available” or “Needs Update” filter in the Fab Library.
-
Show only assets/plugins with pending updates.
-
Optionally display the number of items that need updates.
-
Allow users to update them directly from the filtered results.
This is a small UI improvement, but it would make managing Fab Library assets much easier, especially for users with large Unreal Engine libraries.
Thank you.
