This release is all about your slicer files actually telling Modelist what they know. Printers, materials, filament colors, and print weight now auto-populate from 3MFs - including 3MFs nested inside ZIPs - with a proper review queue for anything new and a tight filter UI to slice and dice by any of it.
New features
- Print Attributes: Every model can now carry its slicer details - printer, material, and total print weight. The new Print tab in the file details panel surfaces all of it in one place.
- Auto-extraction: Modelist reads 3MF files from Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, and SuperSlicer and fills in the printer, material(s), and weight automatically. Works for 3MFs nested inside ZIPs too.
- Per-field source tracking: Each attribute remembers whether it was extracted from the file or set by you, so manual edits never get overwritten by a re-scan.
- Multiple materials: A single print can use several materials - weights are summed, with a per-material breakdown shown in the Print tab.
- Filament Colors: Track the colors used in each print, pulled straight from the slicer file.
- Auto-extracted: Filament colors come out of 3MF metadata automatically when files are scanned.
- Hue-sorted color tree: Settings → Colors shows your full color library sorted by hue, so similar shades sit next to each other.
- Color grouping: Drag a color onto another to group them under a parent color (e.g. all your reds under "Red"). Filter chips and review dropdowns roll grouped colors up to their parent.
- Tri-state filter chips: Filter files by color with include / exclude / off, the same way Tags work.
- Printers & Materials Library: A proper library for the gear and filament you actually own.
- Add and manage printers and materials from Settings, with aliases so multiple slicer names ("Bambu PLA Basic" / "PLA Basic Bambu") resolve to the same entry in your library.
- Inline Add new printer from the Print tab dropdown - no need to switch to Settings first.
- Pending Review: When a scan finds a printer, material, or color it hasn't seen before, you get a review queue instead of silent guesswork.
- One modal, three tabs: Unknown printers, materials, and colors are reviewed in a single Pending Aliases modal. Map each one to an existing library entry, or create a new one.
- Persistent popup + sidebar badges: A status popup and per-category badges in the sidebar tell you exactly what's waiting for review and how many.
- Default to Create: The default action is now "Create new" instead of "Map to nearest" - safer when names are ambiguous.
- Scrollbar Toggle: Settings → Display has a new "Show scrollbars" toggle. Choose between always-visible scrollbars or the macOS-style overlay scrollbars that only appear while you scroll.
Improvements
- Smarter filter sidebar: Printer, Materials, and Colors live in the More Filters block alongside existing filters, and all of them persist in saved searches and smart collections.
- Active filter counts: Collapsed filter sections now show a count of how many filters are active inside, so you don't lose track of what's narrowing your results.
- Filter drawer scales: The drawer stays usable even when your Materials or Colors lists get long - the inner search expands on focus, and the chevron morphs into a Collapse pill to get back out.
- Material filter is tri-state: Material chips now support include / exclude / off, matching how Tags filters work. Multi-material selection uses AND logic (file must match all picked materials), consistent with Tags.
Bug fixes
- Review ribbon in Collections: The banderole / review ribbon now shows for files inside regular Collections - previously it only appeared in Smart Collections and Watched Folders.
- Re-scan on refresh: Post-scan workers (extraction, pending-alias resolution) now also run when you manually refresh a watched folder, not just on initial scan.
