Batch generate asset browser previews

Sorry for reporting so many issues today. But when i try to Batch mark assets in the current file or an external library i get this error message:

Thanks in advance!

I'm not able to enable this module on Blender 3.2.0 Beta. It seems to correctly install but states no module found. I don't believe this is related to the pinned issue #35, but I've been wrong before.

Add an option to setup smart tags. EG : add a tag to objects from one of their properties like scale, location, rotation, or custom properties, object color, etc.

• [x] Dimensions
• [x] Tricount (rounded up or down) & Vertcount
• [x] ID Custom property (user input)
• [x] Scale

All catalog moving/ removing operations suffer from the same issue that they have no input values to choose from. These values can also not be typed in. This happens when trying to change catalogs for files on disk in Blender 3.1.

Blender 3.2 stable

We Use the portable/mobile version of Blender stored an another Network Drive, not locally on every machine

I get this Error Message, when trying to install the addon.

Found your asset utils through the cutaway shader of the BlenderBIM. I also bumped into this studio light setup file. Perhaps would be nice if such a thing, or this one could be added in the process. Would allow for nicer thumbnails.

Its not using any HDR, but could use very simple small one. Guess it would need extra code so the object or studio will be scaled to the studio size or visa versa

I'm currently working on some modular level kits for creating game levels and have need for multiple collections with overlapping assets for ease of access during level design. Given that catalogues have A nested structure that makes this specific use case difficult. I turned to tags to immediately discover that they are barely implemented in default blender, which is how I found this project.

After using this addon to set tags for a short while I've come up with two improvements that I believe would make them much faster when searching for assets by tags and when tagging assets manually.

The first is keeping A list of every tag on any asset within the catalogue you have selected and making A panel beneath the catalogues menu that can be used to filter your currently selected catalogue to only the tags you have selected. Perhaps switching by default but allowing multiple to be selected while holding a key like control.

The second is an option in the 'assets context menu', when clicking this option another popup list appears with the same list of every tag in the selected catalogue allowing you to easily tag A manually selected group of assets with an existing tag.

Thanks for reading my feature suggestion!

Hi! I noticed that there's a considerable file size difference between downloading the main branch and a zipped release. It turns out that your releases unnecessarily contain compiled python files in the __pycache__ folders and some orphaned folders.

To me it seems as if the release was packed locally from a working space and then uploaded. You could consider using a github action to build the release directly from a clean version. This could look somewhat like the untested setup below.

I saw that you have experience in checking all subfolders and importing obj from it.

I need a code that searches and imports fbx from all the subfolders in the selected folder. Can you share if you know?

I have Blender 3.4.1 portable installed (and also use a custom directory for my addons -- however, I also installed to the regular addon directory and get the same issue). The addon shows up after install (using both zip install option as well as simply extracting zip to addon directory), but after restarting blender, I get this error when I try to activate it:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "X:! BLENDER\blender-3.4.1\3.4\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 333, in enable mod = import(module_name) File "X:! BLENDER!

Hi @Gorgious56, could expand the Custom Operation(s)' renaming options? I would like to add the Asset Name as prefix to the Object Data name and Object Material name.

Currently, it is only possible to use the same name as the asset or enter a custom string. But this won't allow me to rename the material data in such a way that I can add the asset name as prefix.

Re https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/275005/addonasset-browser-utilities-export-failed

I search here for an asset browser addon,and I find this.

When I want to export assets from current file to another file,it failed. What I do: enter image description here

After click this,it turn to here,which is my default asset folder,nothing in the list.But I do have some files there. enter image description here I click Export Assets,a new test.blend file created,but there are only a default cube in it.And the icon of test.blend is different from other blend file. enter image description here

I remember that blend change the thumbnail from logo to real object in 3.3.0,so maybe the test.blend is an old version,which may cause trouble. I don't know whether it is my mistake or it's a bug.Could anyone help to check this?Especially waiting for the author... :)

For some reason, Blender currently lacks the ability to assign an asset to selected faces.
Based in large part on your stackexchange answers, I've made such an operator for my own use https://github.com/c-d-a/io_import_wad2/commit/fdb46588a7acd4eecccc0e255fda7f596d8e91bf While your addon is more focused on batch operations, seems like it would fit.
