  • Interface:
    • The Plant Details section and the information gathered from imported plants have been restructured for clarity. More info. Examples include:
      • Age and Age Max, previously shown as arbitrary values, are now used to derive the plant's maturity value (used internally by PlantFactory), which ranges from 0 to 100%.
      • Season is no longer shown as a raw float (e.g., 1.0), but instead displayed as a percentage along with an approximate day of the year (1–365).
      • Health is now shown as a percentage from 0 to 100, instead of a float like 1.0.
      • If import overrides were used, the Plant Details section will now also display those override values for the selected plant.

1.0.7 2025-03-26

  • Bugfixes
    • Fixed issues with plant libraries that were not installed in the default location, where their paths were not being used correctly, which prevented you from using the plants.

1.0.6 2025-03-26

  • Other
    • The Re-Index Plants function no longer indexes the personal library by default; it is now only indexed when the personal library is enabled.
  • Plant-Fixes:
    • New:
      • PlantCatalog > Broadleaf Trees > Adansonia digitata HD
      • PlantCatalog > Broadleaf Trees > Adansonia digitata LD
  • Bugfixes
    • Fixed an issue where the PlantFactory library plants were incorrectly indexed by the re-index function (also affecting the 'verify' cache function), which prevented you from using the plants.

1.0.5 2025-03-24

  • Bugfixes
    • The previous Separate Plant Library Paths change caused issues when plant libraries were installed in custom folders, preventing the cache and indexing from working properly. This issue has now been fixed.

1.0.4 2025-03-22

  • Improved Functionality
    • Improved Info Button: The info button, available when browsing plants in the Gallery View or using the queue function, now shows if plant fixes are available and includes a button to display the specific fixes applied to the plant.
    • Separate Plant Library Paths: The Plant Library paths for PlantCatalog and PlantFactory are now separated, allowing you to store them in different locations while still using them within PF2B.
    • Improved Cache Creation: Creating Plant & Preset Cache now automatically triggers plant re-indexing and thumbnail reloading. Previously, only the "Verify" function triggered this. This should provide a smoother user experience by eliminating the need to manually perform these steps after caching custom plants.
  • Plant-Fixes:
    • New:
      • PlantCatalog > Broadleaf Trees > Bauhinia blakeana HD V2
      • PlantCatalog > Broadleaf Trees > Bauhinia blakeana LD V2

  • Interface:
    • Miscellaneous minor interface tweaks.
  • Bugfixes:
    • The Open button in the "Post Processing > Plant Details" now works with plants without presets.
  • Other
    • The Python library psutil bundled with the addon did not load properly on some systems due to Blender incorrectly interpreting the Python version number for this package. The version has now been renamed to reflect that it is intended for Python 3.11, as used in Blender.

1.0.1 2025-03-16

  • Interface:
    • When browsing plants via the Gallery view, the Presets button is now disabled for plants that do not have available presets.

    • Miscellaneous minor interface tweaks.
