  • Excludes common subfolders (Materials, Textures, Prefabs, Scripts, Animations)
  • Prioritizes mesh files (FBX/OBJ) in selection for accurate path detection

• Fixed version deletion errors preventing access to model details

  • Refreshes version list after deletion to get updated available versions
  • Improved error handling when opening next version after deletion
  • Handles edge case when last version is deleted gracefully
  • Better user feedback with informative error messages

First Run Wizard

  • Improved IsConfigured() to properly check for default values
  • Fixed detection of "anonymous" username as unconfigured state
  • Added validation in SaveConfiguration() with user feedback
  • Enhanced error handling and logging for configuration failures
  • Window now properly focuses when opened

Image Addition

• Fixed image addition not working correctly
  • Improved path normalization for drag-and-drop operations
  • Fixed Texture2D asset drag-and-drop path conversion
  • Added case-insensitive duplicate detection
  • Better error messages for invalid files
  • Added user feedback for successful additions

✨ Improvements

Validation & User Feedback

• Implemented comprehensive changelog validation

  • Real-time validation feedback in submission form
  • Uses ChangelogValidator for comprehensive checks
  • Shows validation errors and suggestions
  • Better guidance for update mode changelog requirements

• Enhanced duplicate detection

  • Improved null checks and whitespace trimming
  • Better error messages for duplicate model/version detection
  • Validates semantic version ordering for updates
  • More informative validation feedback

User Interface

• Added loading overlay during refresh operations

  • Full-screen overlay blocks UI interaction during loading
  • Shows progress indicator with animated dots
  • Prevents accidental clicks during refresh
  • Clear loading messages for different operations

• Improved update icon visibility

  • Manages notification read/unread state using EditorPrefs
  • Tracks notes and update notifications separately
  • Provides methods to mark notifications as read
  • Enables automatic UI updates when state changes

API Changes

• Public Methods Added
  • ModelLibraryWindow.UpdateNotesCount() - Recalculates unread notes count
