NifSkope 2.0 Pre-Alpha 3

Changelog

2015-11-08

• [Fix] bhkCompressedMeshShape blocks were ignoring their Chunk Transforms (#82)
• [Fix] Only most recently opened viewport resized correctly (#88)
• [Fix] File > XML Checker works again

2015-11-02

• New Archive Browser (Image)
  • Allows you to open mesh BSAs in order to open NIF filetypes without needing to extract the BSA.
  • Filepath/filename filter for searching BSAs.
  • Tracks Recent Archives and the Recent Files for each archive.
  • Uses a dockable widget, which you can relocate to wherever you'd like.
• Improved BSA auto-detection. The "Auto Detect Archives" feature in Settings > Resources > Archives now only includes BSAs which actually have textures. It is recommended you clear your Archives list and redo the auto-detection. This helps cut down on program and NIF load times.
• Forward/Back support for selected blocks. Currently only supported via the forward/back buttons on the mouse. This lets you cycle through previously selected blocks which can be useful in large files. UI support for this feature may come later.
• Nif.xml metadata columns now hidden by default (e.g. in "Block Details"). These served no real purpose other than visual clutter and confusing new users, as they are not actually part of the NIF data. The "Type" column remains visible by default as a hint to the user. You can unhide these columns in Settings > NIF > nif.xml.

Update Notes

It is recommended you clear your Archives list in Settings > Resources > Archives and redo the Auto Detect Archives. This helps cut down on program and NIF load times.

This release is compiled with a newer version of Qt, so your UI will reset. Additionally Qt 5.5 does away with a dependency on the ICU libs so the size of the installation has been drastically reduced.
