Description

Blender Asset Tracer, a.k.a. BAT馃, is the replacement of BAM and blender-file.

BAT馃 can be used to list all dependencies of a blend file, such as linked blend files, textures, Alembic files, and caches. Furthermore, it can
be used to create a BAT Pack, which contains the blend file and its dependencies.

Git repository: https://developer.blender.org/source/blender-asset-tracer/

Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/blender-asset-tracer/

The initial design choices are described in T54125.

Oliver Dawes (haiku) added a comment to T65933: [Blender Asset Tracer] Files are not closed on Windows after using BAT to trace .blend file in Add-on.

Process explorer show that once the 'trace' method is called Blender keeps open file handles for all .blend files found by BAT during the trace (This includes linked .blend files).

In current master (released as 0.8) all unit tests work on Windows as well. The windows-support branch has been deleted.

Sybren A. St眉vel (sybren) added a comment to T59124: BAT failes to find resources when parsing a blend file from a different platform.

I've made a new branch windows-support to track Windows-specific fixes. They should only be merged to the master branch when they have been tested on (and proven compatible with) Linux.

My proposal is to adapt the BlendPath.to_path method to convert the Windows slashes automatically to posix slashes.

John Roper (johnroper100) added a comment to T54125: BAT: Blender Asset Tracer 馃.

Can this be used to check for missing assets in blend files? I'm looking for a way to check a blend file and look for missing assets (images, etc.) that should have been packed into the blend.

My plate is already pretty full with Code Quest stuff, so I appreciate your help. P732 seems like a good first step. Once you're a bit further, in a diffusion patch and I can give you some more feedback. For now I've commented on P732.

Sybren A. St眉vel (sybren) added a comment to T55539: BAT doesn't pack particle caches.

BAT doesnt respect caches with blank names (blender itself will add hex representation of object name in that case, see here)

Yep, smoke is not implemented (yet), rBASTdfa07e19cc35 just did it for fluids...

@Isaac Weaver (wisaac) can you update your bug report with one or more example files that demonstrate this issue? Just having to unzip a file and opening/bat-packing a blend file makes it much faster for me to fix, and also ensures that I'm looking at the same issue as you are.
