v1.5.0Feedback Loop · 5 October 2026 · Latest

Talk to the developer. Fresh thumbnail artwork.

Version 1.5 opens a direct line to the developer with in-app bug reporting, dresses your projects with fresh thumbnail artwork, ships the first original Zordew add-on, and delivers the PC-wide project library.

01Report a bug without leaving the deck

Settings > Support sends a report with diagnostics attached. Anonymous, explained up front, and nothing you type is ever lost on failure.

02Fresh project thumbnails

Project tiles now come with thumbnail artwork from a built-in preset collection, cached locally on your PC.

03First add-on lands

Viewport LUT installs in one click from the Add-ons library, free.

Project library

  • Scan your PC for .blend files, with live progress, a first-scan time notice, and a Cancel button.
  • Search, sort, browse by page, save favourites, and filter by date, size, favourite status, or Blender version.
  • Saved-version detection reads which Blender build saved each file.

Support

  • New Report a Bug form under Settings with category, steps, and expected versus actual fields.
  • Automatic, disclosed diagnostics plus an optional sanitized render-log tail.
  • Reports are anonymous and rate-limited; failed sends keep everything you typed.

Add-ons

  • Viewport LUT 0.1.1: live .cube LUT previews in the 3D Viewport, for Blender 4.3 and newer.
  • It installs in one click; the library is now a searchable grid.
v1.4.0Project Atlas · 23 July 2026

Find projects faster. Keep everything private.

Version 1.4 helps you find Blender projects across your PC, return to them faster, and keep your workspace private and dependable.

01Every project, one place

Scan your PC for .blend files, then open projects or reveal their folders directly from the launcher.

02Fast after the first scan

Scan results are saved only on your PC, making later visits quick. Use Rescan PC whenever your files change.

03Find files quickly

Search by name, path, or Blender version, then filter by date, size, favourites, or version.

Project library

  • Scan your PC for .blend files, with live progress, a first-scan time notice, and a Cancel button.
  • Search, sort, browse by page, save favourites, and filter by date, size, favourite status, or Blender version.
  • Blender temporary, startup, preference, brush-library, and installation files stay hidden so results focus on your projects.
  • Open projects, reveal their folders, and manage favourites directly from the project list.

Privacy and control

  • Scan results stay only on your PC. They are never uploaded or included with the installer.
  • Automatic update checks remain available and can be disabled in Settings; manual checks continue to work at any time.
  • Erase local data resets the launcher without deleting your projects, renders, Blender installations, or add-ons.
  • Shared themes include your name only when you choose, and backup exports warn when they contain readable file paths.

Safer and more reliable

  • Backups and themes are checked before import, and backup imports create a recovery copy before changing launcher data.
  • File and link checks now guard against unsafe locations before anything opens.
  • Render and add-on tools protect existing files instead of silently overwriting them.

Everyday improvements

  • Buttons, filters, cards, and search controls now resize cleanly and stay visible throughout the launcher.
  • New installations begin without example Blender versions, projects, or sessions, giving you a clean workspace from the start.
  • Added the dedicated Add-ons space and refined navigation and Blender version actions for a cleaner everyday workflow.
