Asset Hoard v0.1.2 Release Notes

Smoother workflows

This release focuses on quality-of-life improvements that make organising your assets feel more natural and responsive.


✨ New Features

  • Notes field for assets and bundles — Added ability to add notes to assets and bundles with UI for editing and saving
  • Enhanced search — Search now includes notes and license fields for more comprehensive results
  • Drop assets anywhere — The main view now accepts drag-and-drop, so you can add assets without needing to target a specific area
  • Bundle auto-select — Creating a new bundle now selects it and scrolls it into view, so you can start adding assets immediately
  • Automatic daily backups — Your AssetHoard database is now backed up automatically every day. Note: this backs up your AssetHoard data only, not the asset files themselves
  • Link support in license — URLs in text are now clickable links
  • Opening folders in windows -- will now use the default window manager, and not force explorer
  • Updated Settings -> about page -- Added link to documentation

📁 Watched Folder Improvements

  • Default categories, tags, and licenses — Set defaults for watched folders. New assets imported from these folders will automatically inherit your preferences
  • Restore soft-deleted folders — Soft-deleted folders are now restored automatically
  • Background import processing — Imports now run in the background for a snappier experience
  • Improved cancellation handling — Better handling when cancelling imports
  • Better subdirectory handling — Watched folders can now maintain the original directory structure when importing
  • Thumbnail generation — Watched folders now generate thumbnails for imported assets
  • License detection — Watched folders now read license data from directories automatically

🎮 Unity Package Improvements

  • Improved Unity package support — Unity packages are now imported via the folder import system
  • Discover Unity packages — AssetHoard can now find your installed Unity packages and provide import options in the settings menu
  • Open Unity folder — Right-click context menu now includes an option to open the Unity directory/folder directly
  • Unity asset search — Search for Unity asset packages from the context menu (since we can't determine the exact URL, we open a search)

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Large image handling — Large images are now optimised on import, preventing memory issues. Thumbnail generation has been moved to the background for a snappier experience
  • Project sidebar sort order — Sort order is no longer case sensitive
  • Reveal in File Manager — Renamed "Show in Folder" to "Reveal in File Manager" for consistency
  • Importer refactor — Major refactor of the import system for better reliability and performance. Read the full story

May your assets be organised and your bundles be nested.

Happy hoarding!
