v 0.7.0

New: Ghost Detection System

Universal Object Analysis: Expanded ghost detection from CC-objects only to all object types (meshes, empties, curves, etc.)
Enhanced Safety Framework: Added comprehensive protection for legitimate objects outside scenes:
- WGT rig widgets (WGT-* objects)
- Modifier targets (curve modifiers, constraints)
- Constraint targets and references
- Particle system objects
- Collection instance objects (linked collection references)
Smart Classification: Objects not in scenes now categorized as:
- LEGITIMATE: Has valid use outside scenes (protected)
- LOW PRIORITY: Only collection reference (preserved)
- GHOST: Multiple users but not in scenes (removed)
Conservative Cleanup Logic: Only removes objects with 2+ users that have no legitimate purpose
Updated UI: Ghost Detector popup now shows "Ghost Objects Analysis" with enhanced categorization and object type details
Improved Safety: All linked/library content automatically protected from ghost detection

Fixed flat color detection: Redesigned algorithm with exact pixel matching and smart sampling
Fixed AutoMat Extractor: Now properly organizes images by material instead of dumping everything to common folder
Fixed viewport color setting: Resolved context restriction errors with deferred color application
Fixed timer performance: Reduced timer frequency and improved cancellation reliability
Enhanced debugging: Added comprehensive console reporting for all bulk operations

Enhancement: Progress Reporting & Cancellation
- Some of the PathMan's operators are pretty resource-intense. Due to Python's GIL, I haven't been able to figure out how to run some of these more efficiently. Without the console window, you're flying blind, so I've integrated a loading bar with progress reporting for the following operators:
  - Flat Color Texture Renamer
  - Remove Extensions
  - Save All to image Paths
  - Remap Selected
  - Rename by Material
  - AutoMat Extractor

Enhanced AutoMat Extractor:
- Added a crucial safety check to prevent textures from overwriting each other if they resolve to the same filename (e.g., Image.001.png and Image.002.png both becoming Image.png).
- The operator now correctly sanitizes names with numerical suffixes before saving.
- A new summary dialog now appears after the operation, reporting how many files were extracted successfully and listing any files that were skipped due to naming conflicts.
- Added a user preference to control the location of the common folder, allowing it to be placed either inside or outside the blend file's specific texture folder. A checkbox for this setting was added to the UI.
Improved Suffix Handling:
- The "Rename by Material" tool now correctly preserves spaces in packed texture names (e.g., Flow Pack instead of FlowPack).
- Added support for underscore-separated packed texture names (e.g., flow_pack).
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved multiple AttributeError and TypeError exceptions that occurred due to incorrect addon name lookups and invalid icon names, making the UI and addon registration more robust.

Integrated Scene General: Free GPU VRAM
Integrated PathMan: Automatic Material Extractor
Integrated PathMan: Rename Image Textures by Material: Added comprehensive texture suffix recognition
- Recognizes many Character Creator suffixes
- Recognizes most standard material suffixes
- Images with unrecognized suffixes are skipped instead of renamed, preventing unintended modifications
- Enhanced logging: Unrecognized suffix images are listed separately for easy identification
UI Improvements:
- Rearranged workflow layout: Make Paths Relative/Absolute moved to main workflow section
- Remap Selected moved under path preview for better workflow progression
- Rename by Material and AutoMat Extractor repositioned after Remap Selected
- Added Autopack toggle at beginning of workflow sections (both Node Editor and 3D Viewport)
- Consolidated draw functions: Node Editor panel now serves as master template for both panels

Overhaul! Added new Scene General panel, major enhancements to all panels and functions.
