v2.6.0.alpha

What's Changed

New open flow!

Since ancient times DreamMaker was teaching us that to open a map we need to open an environment first.
But things have changed...
Now there is no separate button to open either environment or a map. The "Open" button does all of that.
If there is no environment loaded, StrongDMM will try to find and open one. The search is recursive, bottom-up through the directories.

Referencing to the new open flow, now you can pass any .dme/.dmm files to StrongDMM as startup arguments.
If you have passed only .dmm files, it will do the same as it is said above: automatically find and open .dme file for it.

Improved access to recent environments and maps

The whole startup workspace was redesigned to provide more useful information.
Now, by default, it contains recent environments and maps.
But when you have opened environment it will show you all available maps for it.

Available maps

StrongDMM v1 had a one called feature. And now it is fully back-ported to the v2.
The new version also is more robust than the previous one. It supports hotkeys to select a range of maps to open.
There were a bunch of requests to add an ability to open multiple maps at once, so now it is available.

Search with replace/delete

Search functionality was missing a replace/delete feature.
Back-ported functionality is able to replace not only with prefabs by passing their pass, but with any selected instance.

Search filter

Also, search filter was totally revamped. Now it is more intuitive to use and easier to understand.
Toggle a specific "Filter" button or use a hotkey when the search panel is focused: "F" key.
