Git projects take up less disk space. Anchorpoint cleans up unnecessary LFS cache files on every commit. Previously, you needed at least twice the size of your project plus additional free space to work properly with Git. That's no longer necessary.

The clear cache command is also adjusted to remove anything unnecessary to free up space.

Improvements

• The Git project can be placed on a network drive (e.g. NAS). Only do this if you are working alone on the NAS and not sharing it with your team.
• Anchorpoint checks to see if a .gitignore file was created on the first commit, and displays a warning if it was not.
• Filtering of files is more tolerant
• Provide better guidance when you cannot connect to an Azure DevOps repository
• Provide better guidance for merge commits
• Highlight the appropriate buttons when changed files are available
• The commit ID can be copied to clipboard from any commit
• App links, created on a file, open the file on click (There is also a setting to disable this)
• Showing a tooltip on a file status to better understand what is going on
• Option to disable automatic regular updates

Fixes

• Prevent crash when filtering a huge amount of files in a folder
• Prevent review drawing from disappearing when you enter a comment
• Fixed cannot load timeline issues
• Prevent adding files that are not in the project to the task detail page to avoid missing timeline entries
• Actor file names (when using OFPA) are displayed correctly in the resolve conflicts manager
• Fixed multiple git processes are not terminated properly

• Fixed an issue with slowing down on older projects (Git is optimizing things)
• Unknown Unreal Engine actor types are shown correctly
• Fixed wrong location attribute on image sequence stacks
• Fixed resetting folder icons when renaming a folder

With this release, Anchorpoint can read uasset and umap files to display thumbnails in the timeline and file browser. One file per actor is also supported, so Anchorpoint will display the actor's name and type instead of the original hashed filename. No plugin is required.

Improvements

• Added a health check if Anchorpoint cannot reach the remote server.
• Text-based files (.meta, .asset, etc.) for Unity projects are now displayed correctly.
