👶 What's new?
mudstack wants to expand our communication methods into systems that blend better with current review and status workflows used in game studios.
Thanks to our many requests over the last year to improve some more explicit methods of feedback! This update should meet and exceed those expectations within our app.
🎆 What fun things are we getting?
- Send Review Requeststo another team member to ask for a formal, trackable review. Quickly see all reviews in the Review tab on the file details page
- Change Requestsgives your team the power to give explicit requests on a task that needs to be done before approval. Made after a review. Assigned to user who made the art. Related to a version of a file
- Notificationsis back and better than ever! This will notify users with a host of new trackable events
- Commentingallows for informal reviews and/or directional guidance on work. Very fast method of review
- Subscribingto a file will now send notifications on any important events to all subscribers
- You can now mention(with@) other users in your comments. They'll receive a notification whenever you mention a person
🐜 Bug hunting
- Uploading files to local directories would not complete

⏱️ What's up next?
Local versions
is currently in testing, so expect another update shortlynew
Hey All! We've got some fantastic changes to Navigation based on feedback that will also allow us to build better in the future
🧭 New Nav & Header
The Navigation is organized in a new way for easier access to multiple workspaces within an account. Creating new accounts and workspaces are much quicker to create with this update.
The Header now has workspace information in an effort to bring workspace navigation into 1 consolidated location.
🖋 New Settings menu
Our new settings menu should reduce confusion and allow faster switching of different settings menus between your profile, accounts, and workspaces.
🆙 Uploading files improvement
Uploading will now respect the path of the local directory, so uploading an entire directory, or a file from Local, will now include the relative path and create a folder in cloud. This makes it easier to organize uploads into the cloud from a local directory, and sets us up for local and cloud versions syncing in the near future.
TL:DR Example
Uploading from Local Directory
Grind_Game/Assets/Models/Squire.fbx
) to the workspace The Grind will send the file to Grind_Game/Assets/Models/Squire.fbx
in the cloud.🐞 Bug Hunting
Filters dropdown was a little nervous, so it hid behind the column headers
The filter group bar overstayed its welcome when no filters were selected
If you have a lot of workspaces, the list is now scrollable
Sort should be a bit more stable now, certain orders would get Heisman'd
Attachment uploads should be more responsive
Re-inviting removed users should not need a page reload
new
❓ What is this update all about?
The file viewer had a few bug after our last launch, so these fixes should resolve some of those issues.
🐞 Bug Smashing

new
🎆 What's new?
Cloud workspace now can create folders!
🎢 What fun things are we getting?
- Just like local folders, you can now create cloud folders and upload files to those cloud folders. This is the start to the versions and syncing features we are bringing to the desktop app next.
- We have also improved search speed with how we are loading files into the desktop app.
- The download modal is streamlined a bit more, and downloading folders from the cloud will maintain that folder structure on download.
🧹 Bug Hunting
Libraries & Tags
- Switching accounts made libraries discombobulated
Uploads
- Uploading from a local directory to cloud after switching accounts actually does something
Known Issues & Future Improvements
- Better and easier management of folders in cloud are on the way, let us know which features you would like the most on Feature Requests
- Moving cloud folders and files isn't in production yet, so any organization as of now must be done by re-uploading files
- Drag and drop of files will get an improvement pass, and the mudstack team may ask for your help on which features are the most important in discord!

🎆 What's coming out?
Phase 2
adds local file searching, tagging, and library creation to the desktop app. 
🎢 What fun things are we getting?
This feature brings desktop functionality closer to the file generation experience of artists.
Searching locally can really be a bear sometimes, and most artists have multiple disk drives with 100’s of GB (or multiple TBs) of data, which explorer and finder can only search so well. We will improve that.
This new update will have a few new things…
- New section in the sidebar, called Desktop Local
- Manage a project on your local drive just like you can on the cloud: add libraries, tags, and filter searching directly on a local project
- Upload files to the Cloud from Local
- Local Tags and Libraries can be created and passed to Cloud on Copy to Cloud
- Watch managed local files so you can make changes in explorer and have them mapped to mudstack
- Right click menu is now available in the search page
To get started, Just add your projects and you will now get local tagging, searching, and libraries!
Folder support in the Cloud will be in an upcoming release.
🆕 Improvements
- Make toolbar icon colors more consistent
- Style background for account settings
- Allow tag creation from add tagsaction
- File names are wrapped now
- Add add tags and library components in Metadata tab in File Preview Page
- Improve the UI when searching tags

- Tags with the name "" shouldn't be made anymore
Search
- Libraries are now brought into the filter fold
- Same with file type
- Delete and download know when to be active
- Rows and text should be the same thing when you right click on it
- Switching focus when searching in filters made the desktop app a little confused
Loading Things
- Reloading should actually reload the page
- First run of the application shouldn't move like molasses
Files
- TGA files should now know how to load
- Preview file just shows an empty black screen, file doesn’t load

Couldn't have done this without the community feedback, and the amazing devs at mudstack. We are now onto syncing and version control!
