Updating from earlier versions: Close Unity, delete the Asset Inventory folder, restart Unity and import the new version. Database and settings are compatible.

## [4.8.0] - 2026-08-27

- Reworked Additional Folder relocation to preserve filesystem roots, verify repeated path segments against the selected destination, update shared and nested sources safely, and roll back database and configuration changes on failure.

- Added compatibility with Unity 6.7 while retaining support for Unity 2022.3.

- Added experimental Synty Importer compatibility that discovers and indexes valid packages from its shared local cache as a dedicated Synty source.

- Added optional Unity Asset Store metadata linking for locally downloaded Synty packages while preserving their cache identity, tags, indexed content, and user settings.

- Added 31 Asset Inventory operations for Unity Pipeline and Unity AI Assistant, with automatic activation, preview-based confirmation for changes, and expanded CLI and MCP guidance with copyable dry-run examples.

- Added automatic and choose-first indexing setup paths with clear next-step guidance, resumable progress, saved-search-compatible maintenance filters, selected-only include and index actions, retained-content cleanup, and reversible exclusions.

- Simplified the dependency explorer with a complete graph, one search field for graph and list views, and compact layout and framing controls.

- Improved Search and Packages keyboard navigation with Ctrl/Cmd+F query focus and Ctrl/Cmd+Page Up/Page Down paging.

- Added a compact storage comparison for package files, database data, previews, cache, and total required space.

- Added an optional Unity Asset Manager integration switch that keeps cloud controls hidden until they are needed without losing synchronized data or the update schedule.

- Made Index Now start explicitly selected Asset Store downloads immediately, without a redundant confirmation.

- Improved metadata editing with compact tag pills, live color updates, and aligned Boolean fields.

- Improved download and subpackage indexing performance by removing repeated database lookups.

- Fixed bulk imports so later selection changes cannot disrupt work already in progress.

- Fixed the Previews Wizard layout so Stop and Cancel remain accessible for long file names, with the full name available in a tooltip.

- Fixed in-project dependency matching so self-contained packages remain grouped and unmatched files use the Current Project label.

- Fixed connected custom packages and archives losing access to package data editing and manual location changes.

- Fixed automation filters to validate values and inclusive ranges correctly, match package source and deprecation state accurately, reject unsafe import paths, and prevent stale previews from being executed.

- Fixed fractional audio-length filters in comma-decimal locales.

- Fixed search example menu placement so it opens beside the clicked help button.

## [4.7.1] - 2026-08-07

- The welcome guide now opens once for standalone installations, stays quiet when bundled inside another Wetzold tool, and remains available from the Tools menu.

- Increase Asset Inventory tag popup height

- Restore search sub-package navigation

- Fix double click to import not working for audio anymore

- Fix Audio Tools welcome for embedded installs

## [4.7.0] - 2026-07-30

- Rebuilt the main workspace, settings, browsers, inspectors, dialogs, result trees, and dependency views with a responsive UI Toolkit interface.

- Make package backups, AI captions, semantic asset search, and code search explicitly enableable in their own settings, while keeping update scheduling and per-package choices independent.

- Keep Search filters open beside the results by choosing Filters in the left filter browser.

- Let package covers grow up to their full native resolution, and browse Asset Store gallery images with adjustable sizing and previous/next controls.

- Navigate Add Tag search results with Up and Down, then press Return to assign the highlighted tag.

- Recognize PSB files as images and offer one-click installation of Unity's 2D PSD Importer for importing them and recreating their previews.

- Show No Index packages with a muted dash directly in the Indexed column and keep them separate from new unindexed packages when sorting.

- Keep custom Packages, Search, and Reporting column widths and layouts intact after restarting Unity or resizing a window.

- Restore cached Asset Store packages to their Store source when they reappear in the current account's purchases, including older cached filenames, while leaving unowned cache files as custom packages.

- Preserve TextMesh Pro materials during render-pipeline conversion, and add a maintenance repair for materials previously changed to an SRP Lit shader.

- Limit automatic custom material conversion after package imports to the assets imported in that batch.

- Open any dependency directly in Asset Inventory from the dependency graph or list.

- Keep prefabs dragged into a scene together as siblings instead of nesting each new object under the previous one.

- Fixed package exports omitting DLLs and other files when all file types were selected.

- Preserve same-name imports with automatic renaming, with optional warn-and-skip or overwrite behavior in Import settings.

- Keep Import and Ping actions accurate when a same-name asset replaces a previously imported file.

- Remember whether the Settings statistics section is expanded after restarting Unity.

- Require Unity 2022.3 or newer.

- Open links directly inside package descriptions and release notes instead of repeating them as buttons below the text.

- Keep long Search tile names readable by limiting them to two lines with an ellipsis.

- Refine Search and Packages grid spacing with slimmer tile borders, quieter panel dividers, aligned results, and pagination that stays together.

- Choose which status pills appear on package tiles, with deprecated and disabled store packages highlighted by default.

- Added a polished guided inspector to the search example, with clearer setup, help, and actions.

- Reload the latest shared database data on demand from a configurable toolbar button or the public API.

- Keep the Settings page focused by expanding only one configuration section at a time.

- Remove selected file type groups by clicking them again in the Code and Semantic file type menus.

- Keep Asset Inventory responsive after script reloads while package download states refresh in the background.

- Prevent Unity from hanging while large Asset Store caches are monitored or other tools start file watchers, while keeping package and download status changes responsive.

- Improve additional-folder setup with clearer folder type labels, aligned choices, a roomier wizard, and cancellable background scanning for large folders.

- Keep the Additional Folders list at its current scroll position when changing folder selections or using the All, Invert, and None controls.

- Recover readable ZIP archives whose directory metadata is inconsistent, matching files Windows Explorer can still open.

## [4.6.0] - 2026-07-12

- Add semantic search for indexed assets, using local embeddings and asset metadata to find results by meaning

- Add code search for project scripts and indexed package scripts, including saved searches, scope controls, and paged results for large codebases

- Add per-package controls for semantic indexing and code indexing, so large libraries can limit which packages are included in the new search indexes

- Add a first-class No Index package flag for skipping future indexing work without hiding existing results. Existing package `noindex` tags migrate automatically, and subpackages inherit the flag from their parent package.

- Add custom file type shortcuts to the search type menu, with advanced settings for editing reusable extension groups

- Add optional package list columns for backup counts, package rules, and No Index state

- Improve hierarchical tag selection with clearer parent and child rows, hierarchy-aware filtering, and full tag paths in tooltips

- Show assets and packages from child categories when filtering by a parent category

- Automatically reconcile duplicate Asset Store package entries that point to the same cached package, and add a maintenance repair for existing duplicates

- Skip Shader Graph files that explicitly target a different render pipeline during preview recreation, avoiding Unity import stalls while indexing can continue

- Improve code search stability and readability with safer chunking for long shader lines, bounded page sizes, cancellation handling, and clearer result layout

- Fix Code Search's Index scope so it includes current-project files already stored in the code index

- Improve semantic search scalability, file-type filtering, and ranking behavior

- Keep semantic and code search indexes inactive when their update actions are disabled, preventing unnecessary setup or maintenance work

- Reduce redundant catalog loading when Asset Inventory restores after a domain reload

- Add Asset Inventory drag import feedback

- Improve safety around canceled or restarted package and archive indexing, including safeguards for misconfigured extraction caches inside the Unity project

- Improve bulk package update and download state reporting
