Modelist 1.3: Tags, redesigned search, 30× faster indexing

Tags arrive as a new organization layer. Search and filtering get a redesign with saved searches. OBJ rendering and experimental 3MF rendering land. File indexing is 20-30× faster.

v1.3 introduces Tags - the single biggest upgrade to how you organize your library since watched folders. Combined with a redesigned search experience, 3MF rendering, multi-file bulk actions, and an indexer that's up to 30× faster, v1.3 is faster, smarter, and ready for libraries that have outgrown folder-based organization.

New features

  • Tags: A new organization layer for your library.
    • Assign & Manage: Add, edit, and manage tags directly from the File Details screen.
    • Search & Filter: Click a tag chip to filter instantly, or combine tags with other filters.
    • Visual Clarity: Tags are visually styled and consistently placed across the app.
  • Redesigned Search & Filtering:
    • New search and filter interface for faster navigation and more flexibility.
    • Saved Searches: Save filter combinations for one-click reuse.
    • Extended View: Collapsible panel surfaces complex queries when you need them.
    • Dynamic Tag Chips: Clicking a tag chip adjusts search filters on the fly.
  • OBJ Rendering: OBJ files now render and show a 3D preview.
  • 3MF Rendering (experimental): Modelist now renders 3MF files alongside the existing image extraction. Works with most 3MF files; Bambu and Prusa 3MF variants remain excluded for now.
  • In-App Changelog: Added a changelog section in Settings → License & Version, and update notifications now show the changelog directly.
  • Multi-File Selection: A dedicated selection mode for bulk operations.
    • Bulk Tag & Collection: Select multiple files and assign tags or add them to collections via a dedicated modal.
    • Smooth Exit: Selection mode auto-exits when other actions fire, so you're never stuck in a mode you didn't mean to stay in.
  • Meta Enrichment (opt-in): Optional background system that automatically enriches file metadata from source pages and 3MF files (internet connection required). Controlled from Settings.
  • Enhanced 3MF Processing: Improved 3MF handling with additional metadata extraction.
  • Refresh Button: Quick folder rescan from the main toolbar.

Improvements

  • Performance:
    • File Indexing: 20-30× faster indexing.
    • UI Consistency: Cards update reliably when tags or filters change.
  • Interaction:
    • Clicking a tag or folder on a file card now starts a search rather than just populating filters.
    • Default filter states applied automatically for a cleaner first-run experience.
  • UI Polish:
    • Filter bars, tag chips, and search input all received visual polish.
    • Improved folder path sorting for easier model navigation.
  • File Edit Screen: Various UI improvements.
  • Image & Cache Cleanup: New options in Settings for clearing cached images.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a memory leak in STL rendering that could degrade performance over time.
  • Fixed the STL rendering issue that shipped in the previous release.
  • Fixed saving searches when no folder or tag was selected.
  • Removed unexpected scrollbars in the sidebar on some Windows machines.
