• Fixed treeview crashes
• Removed RespectReadOnlyScript.cs for Unity, because it locked files by accident. You can still download it from our documentation
• Fixed refreshing Git branches on fetch
• Fixed an issue with sorting and grouping

When working on Unreal or Unity projects, you end up with a lot of changed files (imported models, modified blueprints, etc.) Anchorpoint now provides features such as grouping and dependency detection that allow you to better control what to commit and what not to commit.

In the Modified Files section, enable grouping by location. You can also click the group checkbox to include all files in that group, such as everything (textures, geometry, etc.) you need for an asset.

The grouping can also be customized to understand one file per actor locations.

Improvements

• Added a global filter for file types, that let you hide unwanted files such as blend1, meta or anything else, generated by applications.
• Added button to check all dependencies of a .umap or .uasset file, to be included in the commit
