Blender 2.5 Featured Feature: “File Browser”

filemanager

The new full screen, feature loaded, File Browser is serious about productivity.  Finding what you want, where you want, and quickly is what we all been waiting for.  Thumbnail previews of images make it easy to figure out which file you’re looking for.  The new sidebar gives fast access to your system directories and files.  Bookmarks can be set to really speed up finding things, and it also remembers what you opened recently.  But the fun doesn’t stop there.  The header provides several new viewing and sorting options, along with filters for common file types!

    Actually, this filebrowser has been available in 2.4x for quite some time now, albeit not the default. Hold Shift while clicking on file operation buttons and this will open rather than the old browser.

    And then to think that Andrea (elubie) just only started with the new filebrowser for 2.5 – during the wintercamp we talked about several features that will be added in due time by her (like collapsing of image sequences and versioned .blends)
