I do not know how many people that follow me use my ambientcg material downloader plugin I made for #godot but what are some changes or features you would like to see? I've been planning a refactor and I'm taking suggestions for things to change, the codebase is a mess and needs to change.

I've used it a handful of times! I really like it, and it's my go-to for ambientcg usage! Off the top of my head, being able to choose where they get placed would be really handy. I don't tend to capitalize my folders, and git or windows or something hates doing capitalize changes.

Another thing would be having access to the tags/filters ambientCG's site has. Sometimes I just wanna browse around. The related materials they have on material pages would be neat too, donno how doable that is though.

there are *some* folders that can be changed in project settings like extracted textures and materials, the downloads happen in user:// since the engine likes to pop up warnings when a file is externally changed in res:// but i can probably work out a way to download it elsewhere than user://

as per the tags/filters.. I've been experimenting with using the categories and other filters on the newer UI, so far came up with this but it can probably be improved

This looks good to me! At least pretty similar to how they have it on their site anyway, I wouldn't really expect much fancier.

Oh you're totally right, I could make use of that, I didn't know it was there! This probably gets me all the time with other addons too, I never think to look into settings

no pressure 😅 the very first issue was suggesting the same thing, its not documented anywhere but maybe its worth just popping up a FileDialog for all the paths
