File Browser

A few small tools - all keymapped - that streamline common tasks in Blender's filebrowser.

shortcut 1 Toggle Sorting
shortcut 2 Toggle Display
shortcut 3 Adjust Thumbnail Sizes shortcut 4 Toggle Hidden Filesonly Linux and MacOS?
shortcut SHIFT + O Open Location in system's file browser

Using the File Browser Tools

FilebrowserTools Toggle Sorting 1, Toggle Dislay 2 and Cycle Thumbnails 3

Asset Browser

In Blender 3.1, the Asset Browser is basically also just a (modified) File Browser.

Keep in mind

This is going to change at some point in the future.

For now, this means that some of above short cuts work in the Asset Browser as well, and others have been adjusted to produce unique behavior for the Asset Browser:

shortcut 1 to cycle through the Asset Libaries shortcut 2 Toggle Display type shortcut 3 to adjust the thumbnail sizes
shortcut 4 to change the Import Method shortcut SHIFT + O to open the system's file browser

Adjust Thumbnail Sizes (and Asset Import Method)

Note

This now works in the Filebrowser, the Assetbrowser and the Asset Shelf!
