Module asset_browser 

Asset Browser — hierarchical filesystem view of saved SDF models, materials, animations, scenes, and shaders.

Overview

The asset browser maintains a virtual directory tree rooted at the project’s assets/ folder. It scans on startup and on explicit refresh, building a DirNode tree. Each AssetEntry carries a AssetKind tag, thumbnail metadata, and import/export helpers.

Interaction

• Clicking a folder expands/collapses it.
• Double-clicking an asset opens it in the appropriate editor panel (SDF node editor for .sdf, material painter for .mat, etc.).
• Right-click opens a context menu: Rename, Duplicate, Delete, Show in Explorer.
• Drag from browser → viewport/hierarchy creates an instance.
• The search bar filters by name and tags; results are shown flat.
