Its purpose is to:
- be simple, minimalistic and out of the way
- be designed for solo artists
- be free and open source
It has:
- projects list with a thumbnail and a search bar
- scenes list (sub-sections of a single project)
- file browser ($HIP, $JOB, custom)
And that's it. The idea is that we keep a bird's eye view over the $HIP and edit it as we please like in a typical file browser, but in this case it doesn't steal focus since it's a part of the program.
We can save the current scene with a right click or if it already exists with the "Version Up" button. By default, the name and version will be generated automatically.
The file browser could be an add-on on its own, so I've added the ability to turn off the project management to just use the file browser, mostly so I can use it at work where we have a different project management system already in place.
I've yet to implement various quality of life functionalities, such as:
- right-click converting image sequences to MP4, exrs to srgb pngs
- mass renaming
- drag&dropping files into the network as nodes
- custom user disk locations as radio buttons similar to already implemented $HIP and $JOB
- project archiving
- Rez support
Maybe someone finds this interesting or useful.
Personally, before this add-on I'd usually forget I even worked on something and then rediscover it 1 year later while cleaning up my drive.
It's not published yet. It will be available for free on GitHub.
