UI Enhancement Request for Asset Shelf

Hello Allegorithmic Team,

I hope you’re all doing well!

I’d like to propose an enhancement for the user interface of Substance Painter, specifically regarding the Asset Shelf. Currently, accessing the shelves (Project, Starter Assets, Your Assets) requires navigating through a dropdown menu in the top left corner. As many artists frequently use these shelves, the extra click can be cumbersome.

I suggest implementing dedicated icons or tabs for these shelves. This change would allow for quicker access to our customized materials, brushes, masks, maps, and smart shaders, significantly improving our workflow.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I appreciate your attention to this matter!

It already has this functionality. There is a button on the bottom of the Assets window called Filter by Path, just turn that on. This does exactly what you want. It will show up below your "Saved Searches", and let you access those you listed with one click, and more.
