Quote - some time ago, i had a conversation with one of the SM people where he hinted at the possibility of including "metadata". That is some sort of note attached or included on items in the library where you could give it a description or such.
That was desired, but scrapped for this release anyway. Metadata is still in the plans, and a lot of the plumbing for it is in place. But the ramifications of getting content tagged in all the right ways, along with the necessary UI and other functions to allow the user to edit metadata would have led to an unavoidable delay in shipping the product.
There is a search engine, though, and it works quite well even with just folder and file name fragments.
I often can't remember where I put shaders since I have so many. But now, for example, when I'm looking for my shadow catcher, I type "catcher" and it finds it damn fast.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
