v1.1 brings proper organization to Modelist with Collections, smoother rendering, better Windows integration through Open With, and meaningful groundwork under the hood for the features coming next.
New features
- Collections: A new way to organize and group files beyond watched folders.
- Drag & Drop: Drag files from the library onto a collection name in the sidebar to add them in one motion.
- Action Bar: Quick-action bar for collections, mirroring the folder experience for consistency.
- Navigation History: Move back and forth through collections without losing your place.
- Open With Integration: Launch 3D files in their associated applications directly from Modelist - no more jumping to the file manager to find the right program.
- Background Processing: A new worker system handles file analysis in the background, keeping the app responsive while large libraries process.
- Expanded File Format Support: OBJ and STEP files now appear in the library (rendering support to follow).
Improvements

- Sidebar remembers collapsed/expanded state between sessions.
- Watched folder count shown in the sidebar at a glance.
- Sidebar section is now collapsible, freeing up room for your collections.
- Search & Filters: New filtering options for sharper file management.
- Rendering:
- Enhanced rendering stats tracking, accessible from Settings.
- Modelist now skips unrenderable files after three failed attempts, speeding up load times.
- Improved handling of STL and OBJ rendering errors.

- Performance & Speed:
- Optimized database queries for faster library loads and searches.
- Better tracking of background tasks so you always know what's running.
- Core components refactored for reliability and performance.
