I would like to add 3 requests:

 

allowing users have zipped files.  At the moment i believe the tool can just allow to detect a zip/rar file if it includes a preview image with the exact same named. This will allow huge hard drive space savings but also allow the user drap/relocate 3d files without worrying about leaving previews and texture files else where.

Tool needs a packager. Currently, (as far as i know) when the users wants to add some more models to library, the tool can let you  manually assign a preview file to it, relink the assets files. But if you drag it to a tidier folder, it will leave the preview and the textures as is, wont relocate them to where the 3d is. something equivalent of the “etransmit” in autocad is needed here.

the tool can have a  better “tag” search system. The tag searcher should be able to read the tags that are embedded on the preview images. Not only that but also the directory names should also be counted as search strings.

For ex: If an “apple” resides in a directory “Decors\FoodAndDrinks\apple.rar”, the search box should show the result when searched for “food” (even though it s a fruit:). And it should always add tags to the actual preview file so that library can be self sufficient and the tagging process be much more robust.

In google’s image browser “picasa”, the tag system is very robust. You can search for  “modern seats -wooden” and it can show the images that contain those tags but exclude the ones that have the tag “wooden” even if it s not a tag but a “folder”

As these shortcomings exist, i still prefer using the zip “file+preview ” in folders and browse through tags in “picasa” (or adobe lightroom). As the textures of models all inside the 3d’s own zip file, they dont clutter the search results. I can take a portion of the library to somewhere else and either install the small browser “picasa” or just use windows search as the tags are embeded on the preview images.

Let me know what you think, thanks
