Modelist 1.6: Duplicate Finder

Three-method duplicate detection - exact, heuristic, and perceptual - finds duplicates that filename-based tools miss. Plus notes popovers and custom render colour.

v1.6 is a library-cleanup release. The Duplicate Finder's three-layer detection - exact, heuristic, and perceptual - means you can finally track down the clutter you've been meaning to deal with, even when filenames won't help you.

New features

  • Duplicate Finder: A new tool for finding and cleaning up duplicate files. Uses three complementary detection methods so nothing slips through:
    • Exact match: Identical file content via binary hash - the obvious duplicates.
    • Heuristic: Similar filenames and file sizes - catches things like box_v1.stl vs. box_v2.stl.
    • Visual (perceptual hashing): Finds models that look the same, even if they've been renamed completely. Great for tracking down the same model downloaded twice under different names.
  • Notes Popover: Preview file notes directly from the library without opening the full details panel.
  • Custom Render Material: Pick the default colour for your 3D model previews from Settings.

Improvements

  • Collections:
    • Group support: Model groups can now be added to collections alongside individual files.
    • Visual indicators: Files display a badge showing which collection they belong to (when added individually).
