The renaming bug should be fixed.

Thanks, it's fixed.

PS. The archive file is surprisingly small when compared to previous versions (12MB instead of the usual 18MB). Were you doing some cleaning up?

LMB-clicking an empty space in the Scene Hierarchy no longer deselects objects.

See if fixed.
I have removed the button image files in the archive.

IStonia, Can it always create new folder on import? Now it creates only one folder with selected name.
I suggest to create new folder everytime we import file and use for node name - name of file. If we imported one file more than once than NVil will add -01,-02... at the end of node name.

See if it works in the way you want.

Because of this feature I now need to do a cleanup of the hierarchy tree each time I import a geometry into the scene. Not to mention that the hierarchy tree flickers and freezes Nvil for several seconds while it imports the geo (several seconds even for simple shapes!).

How can I turn this feature off?!

Sometimes groups in the hierarchy remain selected unless they're deselected with CTRL+LMB click (it's the only thing that deselects them).

Groups do not have an icon indicating that they're hidden.

New option, Edit > Options > File Format Options > "Import into own file group node". By default, it is off.

Thank you works great!

A spline related bug is fixed.

Edit > Cutomize > Tools > Hierarchy Tools >...

The bug fixed.

Bug:
1. H_Parent Selected, does not work. I select objects than run command but can not make any parent relations. or I do something wrong?

IStonia, let's create some new tools with little changes.

2. H_Unparent Selected to The Top . Will put Unparented objects to the Top Level.


3. H_Break Hierarch to The Top, Break hierarchy and put selected object to the Top Level.

4. H_Select Curent Hierarchy
Will select only current Hierarchy Starting from Parent and without Sub Parents and their Sub Families.

Before:

After:


5. H_Select Full Hierarchy It will select everything in current Hierarchy.
Like this:
before

After:


Other tools work nice, thank you!

1. H_Parent Selected works on me. Can you show me the picture of what you were trying on this tool?

Just got it, how it works - you select Object than run command and it will parent everything to it.
But we need a bit different behavior, so it will parent only selected objects and set first selected object its parent.
