PieTabs | Browser Enhancer

PieTabs upgrades Unity’s Project Browser with a playful and powerful overlay.

Shortcut Buttons Area – “QuickPins”

Organize and jump to your most-used assets or folders with ease:

• Drag & Drop any asset into this area to create a visual bookmark.
• Buttons show the asset’s icon and custom label.

• 🖱️ Alt+click: Set a custom background color for better visual grouping.
• 🖱️ Right-click: Instantly remove the shortcut.
• 🔁 Drag: Behaves like any Project window item (for use in other tools or hierarchy).

✨ Creator Buttons Area – “CreateCaps”

Quickly spawn new assets or files using customized buttons:

• Drag a menu entry, type a name, and create a creator button.
