With this update, flexible filters can be applied to attributes. You can sort your footage, organize task lists or just hide unnecessary folders. The following options are possible:

• Add various attributes filters on top of each other
• Set rules like “include” or “exclude”
• Filter by the active user, so that everyone sees only the tasks they are assigned to, for example
• Date filters allow options like “today”, “this month” or “next month”.
• A “Hide” option allows to quickly hide selected tasks, folders or files
• The quick filter is accessible via the “Ctrl-F” shortcut

‍

This update includes a better activation and distribution of Actions for end users and technical directors, who write their own Actions.

🚄 Better performance

• Attributes are loading faster in the browser
• A tile view in the folder display
• Folders and files are displayed faster when browsing

⚙️ Action activation and distribution

• Actions can be easily activated and deactivated via the Actions menu
• Actions can be imported directly via a GitHub link or a folder
• Actions are bundled in packages. Each package can be provided with an icon, description and tutorial. The source code can be viewed and modified directly from the action.
• Actions support event callbacks so that you don’t have to modify the action source directly
• Each action has their own settings script that can be registered to adjust the behavior of an action
• Actions can be activated on “New” buttons in folders and files
• Action dialogs allow description text and hiding of parameters

Check out the Action Documentation for more info

⚙️ Example Actions

• Create new file and folder structures from templates
• Render thumbnails for Blender using Eevee
• Map (mount) folders as drives to avoid issues with absolute file paths
• Coding templates and utilities

Other improvements

• Problems with Cinema 4D and Maya when starting from Anchorpoint have been fixed
• The project join workflow has been improved. The path to the project is shared among the team so that your teammates don’t have to re-enter the path.
• Fixed issues with network drive handling
• Fixed issues with shortcuts (e.g. space)
• Fixed crashing issues in the tour
