I have been working on an explorer plugin for a while. My version of the explorer will focus on usability, fluidity, and generally looking as good as it can. The design is a nice combination of Blender and modern Roblox UI, with a compact list in order to minimize scrolling.
I’ve currently done the following:
- Basic layout and scrolling
- Independent rendering of windows
- Multiple window support with some cool nicknames
- Optimized item scrolling specifically to improve layout times (Luau VM is second priority)
Although rendering is only being done, the performance is really good so far, beating the default React-based explorer and even rivaling the old Qt explorer.
My current roadmap:
- Making the explorer function like an actual explorer
- Selecting
- Insert object
- Collapsing/folding (and saving them if UniqueId becomes PluginSecurity)
- Search and filtering
- Applying “greedy” rendering techniques to further improve layout times
- Drag and drop???
You can provide feedback if you’d like or even suggest nicknames for me to add. I’ll try to provide regular updates as I continue making this.
