Salaryman Asset Manager

Command palette

The command palette is one search box for everything: assets, tags and the app’s commands. Press Cmd/Ctrl+K anywhere in the main window to open it, and again to close it. The empty search box in the top bar shows the shortcut at its right end as a reminder.

The command palette with “wood” typed in: an Assets group with two wood_planks.png textures, their thumbnails, folders and 256×256 dimensions, and a Tags group with “Filter by tag: wood”, 2 assets. The matched letters are highlighted.

Searching

Section titled “Searching”

Start typing. Results come in groups, in this order:

  • Commands whose name matches (up to 10).
  • Assets whose name, path, tags or archive contents match, the same way the search box does (up to 20). Each row shows the thumbnail, the file name, its folder (library folder and subfolder), the type and one key number: dimensions for a texture, duration for a sound, triangle count for a model, or the file size.
  • Tags whose name matches (up to 8), shown as “Filter by tag: …” with how many assets have it.

Each group’s header shows how many results it has, and the footer shows the total. With nothing typed, the palette lists the first 10 commands. Archived and missing assets aren’t listed.

Matching ignores case. A name that contains what you typed as one piece (best at the start of a word) ranks higher than one that only has the letters in the same order with gaps, so rnm still finds Rename selected assets…. The matched letters are highlighted in each row. When nothing matches, the palette says No matches.

Prefixes

Section titled “Prefixes”

Start the query with a prefix to search one group only. The hint at the right of the box changes to say which:

Type Searches Hint
> Commands only, e.g. >sort Commands only
# Tags only (up to 30), e.g. #props; # alone lists all tags Tags only

The palette in commands-only mode with “>select” typed: eight commands such as Clear selection, Reveal selected asset in Finder and Rename selected assets…, with “select” highlighted in each.

Keyboard

Section titled “Keyboard”
Key Action
↑ ↓ Move through the results (group headers are skipped).
Tab / Shift+Tab Jump to the first row of the next / previous group.
Enter Run the highlighted row (see below).
Cmd/Ctrl+Enter On an asset: reveal its file in Finder, Explorer or your file manager instead.
Esc Close the palette. Clicking outside it does the same.

You can also point at a row to highlight it and click to run it.

What a row does

Section titled “What a row does”
  • Command: closes the palette and runs the command.
  • Asset: clears every filter and the search, selects the asset in the grid, scrolls to it and shows it in the inspector.
  • Tag: filters the grid to that tag (replacing any other tag filter, keeping the rest).

Opening the palette closes Quick Look if it’s open.

All commands

Section titled “All commands”

Commands that act on “selected assets” use the grid’s current selection. With nothing selected they do nothing, or say in the status bar that you need to select something first.
