Release notes 3.12.1 πŸ”—

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 πŸ”—

πŸ†• 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
