Release notes 3.12.1 🔗

We are excited to announce the release of BlenderKit 3.12.1. This update brings several new features and bug fixes designed to enhance your asset management and improve overall functionality.

New Features 🔗

🆕 Open Directory Button: Added a button to open the directory containing the asset on asset's card. You can access the card in search results, or by right-clicking on asset in scene and going to BlenderKit menu option. Open directory button is available on assets which are present locally on disk #1160

Detailed Error Messages: Added detailed error messages into Client if a non-blocking HTTP request ends with a non-200ish status. This improves quality of error messages and helps to debug the problems more effectively. #1122

Bug fixes 🔗

🛠️ Fix Upload for Complex Assets: Resolved an issue that caused failed uploads for assets with huge number of render faces. If your upload fails with "A valid integer is required."],"parameterType":"faceCountRender", this fix brings a solution to you. #1113

🌐 Fallback Client Starting Address: Implemented a fallback to 127.0.0.1 if localhost fails on meshed wifi networks and other esoteric networks and setups with error: Failed to start server: listen tcp 143.244.220.150:62485: bind: cannot assign requested address #1111

📖 Correctly Read aboutMeUrl: Fixed an issue where the aboutMeUrl was not correctly read from search results and filled in author's profile.

🖱️ Viewport Drag Drop Fix: Fixed the drag and drop issue in the viewport when over a plane and facing up, or under a plane and facing down. #1141

🗂️ Windows Filepath Length: Ensured the filepath is not longer than 250 characters on Windows, syncing Slugify in Python and Go. #1147

🌅 HDR Resolution Download: BlenderKit now correctly downloads the HDR resolution selected in the UI. #1124

🔢 Type Correction: Changed the type for AssetFile.results.files.resolution to int, improving stability of resolutions. #1132

🏷️ Private Storage Info: Fixed information about remaining private storage and quota. #1150

🆕 New File Asset Type Change: Fixed an issue when creating a new file and the search asset type is changed.
