I just had an idea, that maybe easy to implement but useful:
Up to now i have made alot models, often in different state of completion. So i have to open many scenes to find the correct version.
A preview-window in the opfen-file-dialog like the prefab-preview could help saving time! Something like this:



Is this possible ?

It's a nice suggestion! Smile

Not very easy, but doable. We would need to make a new "Open scene" dialog containing a small DXS loader + renderer.

I found using naming to be a good thing at the time, but unless the name is a full description, memories fade LOL.

I use a lot of nested folders. Windows is nested with Wooden, Stone, Brick etc etc.. then in say Wooden, I put Box sashes, Storm, Casement, Bars, Without Bars etc etc.. at least then I navigate to what I want, spent less time openning files.

However, I do love the idea of a viewer Smile

Opening a .dxs file can take a lot of time as they get big, so the loading would definitely have to be handled in a background thread.

No problem, just a thought.

mudbox already does this, but it somehow automatically makes a little picture of your model, and when you click the model that picture that correspondents shows up. would be less intensive then loading the actual model.

I'd imagine that probably would be done when the file's saved, and its embedded with it (or cached somewhere in the app directory). Probably would be a better solution, performance wise.

It could also be done on load time and cached within the folder in a hidden file. That's what windows explorer does when viewing thumbs.
