Feature: Subfolders as expandable tree in file chooser

Postby Aranuvir » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:13 pm

It would be a great feature, to show sub-folders that are in the models folder as an expandable tree in the file chooser. This would be an easy way to organize models by different categories.

Not a bad idea, though not very urgent either ;)
You can make a feature request ticket on the bugtracker, so it does not get lost.

Just saw, you're planing to introduce metadata for filenames. I think I will make two feature requests, though the first idea would be easier to implement. But using metadata tags and configurable filters would be a more powerful solution. I'm curious what will be implemented.

Tag filters are already implemented for proxies, materials and rigs.
It might be a good idea to allow tag filtering for loading files too. mhm files in theory already can contain tags, we just need to offer a gui to specify tags when saving the file.

Thanks for adding the feature request on bitbucket. I will continue there.
