Automatic Fake User (Blender Addon)

$5

Tired of loose your materials, animations, and other datablocks?

Sounds like a joke, but you and me know what happens when we forgot to enable "fake-user" for a datablock.
I created an addon to solve this and is fully configurable.

Preferences

In the first version you can save automatically actions, materials, geometry-nodes, shader-groups and worlds. Do you need more data-types? Tell me what you need and I will add this in the next version.

But in some cases you need to exclude some datablocks, for example if you are testing some features, etc. In this case you can exclude data-blocks using an specifix name, sufix or prefix. And you can change this if you want. For example, changing "exclude" just by a symbol, like "!" or "#".

And, I supose that in some cases you need a non-automatic behaviour. In this case you can deactivate the "on-save assignation" and use the button in File Menu.

FAQ

How I can install the addon?

Like every addon. Go to Edit > Preferences > Addons and press the button "Install" at top-right corner of the window. Then you need to choose in your computer the addon's zip file.

How I can set my preferences in the addon?

Go to Edit > Prefereces > Addons and search the addon by name "fake". At this moment you can choose data-types to save, the behaviour and excluded datablocks.
The addon will save all choosen data-types everytime you save the file, or manually if you prefer this behaviour.

How I can delete datablocks?

Go to Outliner Editor, then change the mode to "blender file" in order to show the datablocks tree. Then select the datablocks that you want to delete, press right click, and "delete". You can delete multiple datablocks at the same time.

Thats all. Simple but usefull. If you need some help please contact me.
