Improved 3D thumbnail generation

We replaced the thumbnail generation module that now supports thumbnails for USD, Alembic and some CAD formats such as STEP. The thumbnail generation of OBJ, FBX and GLTF file formats is also faster. Furthermore, the favorites area supports not web links and files.

  • Switching a branch in Git shows a proper progress
  • Link Attributes show the favicon of a web link
  • Added an option to reset the view settings in the changed files if the performance goes down when having many files
  • Comments on video can also display the time code instead of only the frames

Fixes

  • Uppercase file extensions work for FBX thumbnails
  • Fixed an issue with the progress indicator when switching a branch
  • Don’t show the conflict marker check when files are displayed in a commit
  • Show a message when codecs are missing when playing back .ogg files
  • Fix authentication issues on Bitbucket
  • Fixed an issue with branch switches
  • Fixed an issue with Attribute reordering

Review animated Gifs

You can now review animated Gifs with drawings and frame-based comments when you need to provide feedback on animations or quickly play a Gif with more control.

Improvements

  • Made the global progress indicator smoother, so that Anchorpoint feels "lighter" when doing heavy processing.
  • A Git pull process does not require shelving of files, making it more robust and faster.
  • When joining a Git repository, an additional step asks if you have access to GitHub/ Azure DevOps etc. to make the process clearer
  • Commit text field is sticky as you scroll through your changed files
  • Added Grafana, Loki and Promtail for self-hosting
  • Added option to add own SSL certificates for self-hosting

Fixes

  • Fixed progress bar to immediately show 100% in case of a git pull
  • Updated file watcher to prevent certain changes from showing up in Anchorpoint
  • Fixed 3ds Max thumbnails could not be generated
  • Allow thumbnails to be generated on computers with security systems that prevent inter-process communication
  • Fixed a sidebar glitch when joining a project
  • Fixed problem with Attribute views when browsing a folder for the first time
  • Fixed a problem where selective checkout would hang
  • Fixed issue where Azure DevOps integration hangs during the authorization process
  • Prevent file paths from being pushed to Git that contain symbols that are not allowed on Windows, such as ":*? ", etc.
