Changelog

Every FNSTools release, newest first. Each line names a tool, the version it moved to, and what changed. The updater shows the same note next to an update inside TouchDesigner.

v3.2.76 2026-10-21

• ChopBank 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 after changing the value type, a copy or a renamed ChopBank shows its own output in its node viewer. Its search tags no longer include controller and midi, so searching for either word in the install picker or the OP Create dialog brings up the MIDI and controller tools first.
• ChopProcess 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• CircularDistortionTOP 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ColorGen 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ColorGenPro 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ComplexMix 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ComplexOp 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ConstantCHOP 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 after changing the value type, a copy or a renamed ConstantCHOP shows its own output in its node viewer.
• CookBar 1.0.5 -> 1.0.7 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed. Switching it off takes its bar out of the network overlay also when its Auto-register is off.
• EaseInterpolator 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ExpressionPOP 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• AltSelect 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• AutoCombine 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 ships without old log lines from the authoring machine.
• AutoRes 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 ships without old log lines from the authoring machine.
• BorderlessTD 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 a fresh TouchDesigner no longer pastes the saveStateScriptOp_callbacks DAT on the first Ctrl+V. The File* marker injection copied its Script DAT together with its docked callbacks DAT, and TouchDesigner moves docked companions through the operator clipboard, leaving the last one there. The callbacks DAT is now copied on its own and docked by hand, so the clipboard keeps what you copied.
• ColorUI 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• CommandKit 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 the command announcer links to its master by a relative path, so it keeps working under a renamed toolkit root.
• CommandPalette 3.2.16 -> 3.2.18 a word your commands start with, such as copy, open or reset, now lists the commands that do it first, before components that only carry the word in their name: copy lists Copy op path above the CopyPars component. The palette learns these action words from the commands' own titles and help lines, so a new tool's commands teach it new ones. Every other word ranks as before. ships without the last search results from the authoring project. A typed word now also finds the words that mean the same in command titles: add and install, remove and delete, open, show and view, randomize, scramble and shuffle, restore and revert, quit and exit, create and new, load and import, and op, par and comp with their long forms and plurals. Those matches rank below the typed word itself and above help and docs hits.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.9 -> 3.2.11 three new built-in commands: Add Embody, Add TDMCP and Add TDX Launcher Utility. Each downloads the component's latest release, checks it against the sha256 its release manifest pins, and loads it at the project root. A command is hidden while its component is already in the project.
• ConfigHost 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• Console 3.2.18 -> 3.2.19 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• CustomParTools 3.2.14 -> 3.2.15 ships without old log lines from the authoring machine, and its ExtUtils distributor links the copies it clones by a relative path, so they keep working under a renamed toolkit root.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 ships at full volume and unmuted. The exported tool no longer carries the author's own level and mute, which would have set TouchDesigner's master volume to zero on a fresh install.
• HotkeyManager 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• Hub 3.2.15 -> 3.2.16 ships without the authoring project's tab targets. The tabs fill in for the tools you actually have, so a fresh install no longer warns about missing paths.
• HubRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• HydroHomie 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• Misc 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• OpFamily 0.1.11 -> 0.1.12 the update check no longer runs an asyncio loop step every frame. It used TDAsyncIO only to pulse a web request that was already non-blocking, so the check now starts the request directly and TDAsyncIO is gone from the family registry.
• OpMenuMods 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• OpTemplates 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14 ships without the authoring project's template list and readout, which named a location that no longer exists.
• OpToClipboard 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• OpenExt 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• Output 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• OverlayRegistry 0.2.2 -> 0.2.4 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update. Switching a tool off now always takes its layer out of the overlay: with that tool's Auto-register off, the overlay stayed in the network editor and kept resizing as you zoomed.
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.5 -> 0.1.6 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ParOPDrop 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.

• ResetPLS 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• SearchFix 0.2.7 -> 0.2.8 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• SearchPalette 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• SetSmoothness 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.

• SwitchTools 1.1.8 -> 1.1.9 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 tools in your project run on the copy of this registry's host they shipped with, so removing or renaming the FNSTools root no longer raises "Operator /FNSTools has been deleted" from them. A host an older install had linked is frozen the first time it starts after this update.
• Updater 3.2.30 -> 3.2.31 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• VSCodeTools 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 ships without old log lines from the authoring machine.
• iopBrowser 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• FeedbackDisplace 1.0.6 -> 1.0.7 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• FloatDataRecorder 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• InstanceTrailer 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• KinectSinglePlayer 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• LayerSep3D 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• LinkOPs 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• MaskDraw 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• MoveDetectDir 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• OpenOp 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• Particles2D_POP 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ParticlesGpuUltimate 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• PrismTOP 1.0.6 -> 1.0.7 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• QuickMarks 3.2.10 -> 3.2.12 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed. Switching it or its Pins off takes the pins out of the network overlay also when its Auto-register is off.
• RealRamp 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• SeqMod 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• SlideShow 1.0.6 -> 1.0.7 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• ThresholdColor 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• TopToMidi 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 maintenance build; nothing changes in what it does.
• midiMapper 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• oscMapper 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 runs on the registry hosts it ships with, so it keeps working when the FNSTools root is removed or renamed.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.75 -> 3.2.76 the toolkit root ships without the Private Investigator tag, so a project that uses Private Investigator leaves it alone, and the root's config host runs on the copy it ships with; the install picker opens on how many tools are free, offers the Patreon sign-in on the first screen, before the install and after it (Not a supporter hides it on that machine), keeps the Sign in button beside the picks still waiting for Patreon on the done report, lists the Patreon picks after the ticked ones on the questionnaire and tool-finder results, offers a trial or foreign match there too (TDXMap, unticked, its chips saying why), points at TDX Launcher Ultra under the catalog, names the FNS button in the menu bar on the done report, and installs straight from the list with one Install button when the plan has nothing to decide; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.31

Every tool's About page now carries a Help button that opens its documentation page and a Link button that opens the author's page, beside the author's name and the package version. Tools that already had their own author link keep it.

The documentation site's search results open the page they name again: every result pointed one folder too high and landed on a 404.

The CommandKit, CommandRegistry and CommandPalette pages each explain how the four command pieces fit, the kit, the registry, the palette and the launcher, and link each other early. The CommandKit page now documents the explicit spec form, what the kit does on load and how to check that commands arrived.

The install picker also matches search tags kept per tool in the catalog, scored like operator-family tags, so a tool outside the operator family can rank for the words people mean it by: TDXMap now comes first for midi and controller.

v3.2.75 2026-10-19

• CookBar 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 stops scanning while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• AutoCombine 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 stops following the network you view while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• AutoRes 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 stops following the network you view while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• BorderlessTD 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 the window title stops refreshing its unsaved-changes mark every second while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• ColorUI 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 its browser stops checking every frame whether its viewer is open while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• CommandPalette 3.2.15 -> 3.2.16 a picker mode lets another tool ask you to choose a command; the radial menu fills its slots with it. Right-click a row for its menu: Run, Star, Hide or Delete preset, and Add to radial menu. search finds a command by what it does. A typed word also matches the command's help line and its tool's description and documentation, so "copy" finds PasteFromClipboard and "bookmark" finds QuickMarks; such a row says why it matched ("in docs: copy"), and #copy lists the tools whose docs say copy. Letters scattered through a long name ("delete" in TD_SearchPalette) no longer fill the list when a real match exists, and TouchDesigner's own commands are listed once when the TDXL launcher companion is in the project too. Typing is two to three times faster on longer words (copy: 40 ms to 13 ms per keystroke). a fresh install starts with an empty query history.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 three more of TouchDesigner's own commands: Open parent parameters, Customize parent and Customize op (the Component Editor for the network you are in, or the selected component).
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 a tool that an update replaced mid-session gets its saved settings back straight away. It used to run on its shipped defaults until TouchDesigner restarted, and a project save in between wrote those defaults over your saved settings.
• CustomParTools 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14 its parent and current-COMP parameter and Customize commands share an identity with the toolkit's built-in ones, so quick-launch lists each once. QuickExt stops following the network you view while FNSTools Perform Mode is on. the release no longer carries a path into the author's Downloads folder on QuickParCustom.
• Hub 3.2.14 -> 3.2.15 a command, Toggle FNSTools perform mode, with its state shown in the palette. the FNS button in the main menu turns red while FNSTools Perform Mode is on, and its tooltip says where to switch it off, so a project that opens performing explains why its authoring tools are quiet. the FNS button's right-click menu switches FNSTools Perform Mode (checked while it is on) and ends with Support FNSTools on Patreon, which opens the Patreon join page.
• HydroHomie 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 while FNSTools Perform Mode is on the reminder neither animates nor pops up; one that comes due starts its interval over. The animation was the tool's whole cost while the reminder showed (0.24 ms a frame, 12 operators), and it shows from project start until dismissed.
• Misc 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 its toolbar button stops checking its state every frame while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• OpFamily 0.1.10 -> 0.1.11 its update check pauses while FNSTools Perform Mode is on and resumes when perform ends.
• OpTemplates 3.2.12 -> 3.2.13 stops following the network you view while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• OverlayRegistry 0.2.1 -> 0.2.2 Cursor() tells a tool where the mouse is in the network editor under it, in network units, read on demand. It is TDXCollab's measured cursor code moved into the registry so the two share one copy. widgets can open at a point (the radial menu opens at the mouse), WidgetRect() says where a widget sits, and a widget panel now always takes the mouse: the annotation's empty text body sat on top of it before. shows no layer or widget while FNSTools Perform Mode is on, and stops its frame loop.
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 its readme stops watching its colour every frame while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• ParOPDrop 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 its modifier-key checks stop cooking every frame while FNSTools Perform Mode is on; they are read when you drop.
• ParentHierarchy 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 a leftover frame callback that could never run (its condition did not parse and the method it called was removed) is switched off. Its hover chain and its menu rest while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• QuickPane 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 most of its pane gesture's per-frame work rests while FNSTools Perform Mode is on (0.026 to 0.006 ms a frame).
• SearchPalette 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 Hide Palette When Idle stops watching the palette while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• Updater 3.2.29 -> 3.2.30 an update keeps the parts of a tool that hold your own work (children the tool tags fns_keep, such as the radial menu's wheels), in either config scope. If the update fails, they go back into the restored copy. a fresh install shows signed out and no update result until it checks.
• iopBrowser 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 its menu stops checking the mouse every frame while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• KinectSinglePlayer 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 no longer cooks every frame without Kinect data (0.16 ms a frame). Its in-range checks no longer force time slicing, so they follow the Kinect stream when one is connected and rest when none is.
• MaskDraw 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 no longer reads the mouse every frame. A callback that did nothing kept its mouse chain cooking (0.07 ms a frame); it is switched off, which changes nothing you can see.
• Particles2D_POP 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 no longer cooks every frame while nothing uses it. Its placeholder source, used when nothing is connected, was an animated 1x1 noise that two of its own parameters pulled every frame (0.26 ms a frame); the placeholder is now still.
• ParticlesGpuUltimate 2.0.2 -> 2.0.3 the Snow texture no longer points at an image on the original author's desktop, which no install ever had; the slot is empty until the tool ships its own snow image.
• PrismTOP 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 no longer cooks every frame while nothing uses it. A parameter that only needed the number of instances read it from the animated pattern chain, which kept all 22 of those operators cooking in every copy you placed and were not using (0.77 ms a frame each); it now counts the instances directly, and the prism animates as before whenever its output is used.
• QuickMarks 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 its pins and list stop while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.
• SlideShow 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 plays movies as well as images, and a new Auto-Skip on Done moves to the next slide when a movie reaches its end. Fixed: with Period at zero a started timer flipped the slides every frame; Prev restarted the timer even with Period at zero; switching Random off jumped to another slide instead of continuing from the one on screen; after a script reload the next step started over from the first slide. The crossfade between slides is kept. a fresh install starts on the first slide.
• oscMapper 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 the OSC In and OSC Out operators no longer keep the author's network addresses underneath their address expressions. Active and Talkback Active start off, so a new copy neither listens nor sends OSC until you switch them on. Both now stay with the project: switching them in one project no longer switches them in every other project on the machine.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.74 -> 3.2.75 the toolkit root carries FNSTools Perform Mode and Follow TD Perform Mode, and the installer no longer carries the last page the author's built-in browser was sent to; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.30

QuickExt: a parameter declared with CustomParHelper (ParFloat, ParInt and the other Par fields) now takes its label, help, ranges and default when it is created and keeps what you set in the Component Editor after that, so an edit there survives the reload it triggers. Read-only and menu names stay in step with the tool. A tool whose parameters nobody edits can set _parRefresh = 'all' to re-apply them on every init, and CustomParHelper.RefreshDeclared() re-applies the declarations once.

FNSTools has a Perform Mode, a switch on the toolkit's own parameter page (FNSTools, next to FNS Tab in OP Create). While it is on, the tools that only serve the network editor stop: Cook Bar, QuickMarks pins, POP Overlay and the overlay that shows them, the scene changers' Cook While Editing watch and the radial menu, and Autosave skips. No tool setting changes, so switching it off brings back exactly what was on. It is saved with the project and never carried to other projects, and by default it follows TouchDesigner's Perform Mode (F1): entering turns it on, leaving puts back what it was. Measured on a dense network, the overlays cost 7.7 ms a frame in Designer mode and still 0.7 ms behind TouchDesigner's perform window; Perform Mode takes both to zero.

The toolkit's built-in browser stops checking every frame whether its viewer is open while FNSTools Perform Mode is on.

The toolkit's logger holds its records while FNSTools Perform Mode is on and writes them out when perform ends.

The installer no longer carries the last page the author's built-in browser was sent to.

Every package ships its registration readouts blank (Cfregstatus, Tbregstatus, Hbregstatus and the host Regstatus under them), with none of the author's project paths in them, and its nested components carry no leftover drag-in paths to the author's disk (ColorUI, OpFamily, PreviewPanel and PaneTypeRegistry had some).

v3.2.74 2026-10-17

• AutoCombine 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 No longer raises "Invalid OP object" when operators are deleted in the network it watches; the watcher that reports new and deleted operators tripped over the operators that had just been deleted.
• AutoRes 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 No longer raises "Invalid OP object" when operators are deleted in the network it watches; the watcher that reports new and deleted operators tripped over the operators that had just been deleted.
• CustomParTools 3.2.12 -> 3.2.13 No longer raises "Invalid OP object" when operators are deleted in the network it watches; the watcher that reports new and deleted operators tripped over the operators that had just been deleted. This is the watcher behind QuickExt.
• OpTemplates 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 No longer raises "Invalid OP object" when operators are deleted in the network it watches; the watcher that reports new and deleted operators tripped over the operators that had just been deleted.
• Updater 3.2.28 -> 3.2.29 Sign in in the picker, when it takes over a Patreon session this computer already holds, now asks Patreon for your membership right away; it used to keep the session's old answer (up to six hours) so a fresh pledge needed "I just pledged". A sign-in or membership check left waiting by a reload of the updater no longer reads "checking" forever.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.73 -> 3.2.74 the install picker keeps your place across a Patreon sign-in, never waits unbounded on one, and has a Cancel button for the wait; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.29

The install picker keeps your place when a Patreon sign-in or "I just pledged" refreshes it: your ticks stay, an open install step re-plans with the tools the sign-in unlocked, and the newly unlocked tool is announced on your next visit instead of in the middle of the install.

The install picker never gets stuck waiting on Patreon: a membership check gives up after a minute with a clear message, a browser sign-in after ten, a refused check says why at once, and a new Cancel button stops the wait. Your ticks and step stay as they are either way. A sign-in made right after pledging gets one quiet re-check half a minute later, so a pledge Patreon had not confirmed yet still shows up without pressing anything.

v3.2.73 2026-10-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.72 -> 3.2.73 the install picker's last step names the Patreon picks that wait for a sign-in, and its note after a starting point sits above the footer; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.28

The install picker's one-line note after a starting point ("16 tools ticked...") sits above the footer; it used to cover the footer's buttons for a few seconds.

The install picker's last step names the Patreon picks it cannot install yet: the plan carries a "Waiting for Patreon" line with the sign-in, recheck or join action, and the installed report keeps the one-line note; before, a locked pick was recorded as wanted and left unmentioned there.

v3.2.72 2026-10-17

• Hub 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14 group brackets survive an in-session update: the restore keeps looking while tools are still being replaced and spends its retries only on a settled bar, a group none of whose members is present yet is retried, and a new RepublishOwned re-places the brackets once an update has finished. A Reset toolbar pulse on the Toolbar tab (its parameters, page Toolbar) puts the bar back to the layout it shipped with after asking: every tool to its stamped slot, TD's own items, dividers and groups to the shipped table, and the settings file stops replaying the old positions. For a project whose bar came out of an update with tools tied at one number.
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 same rule as the toolbar; the automatic passes place entries per side without writing any tool's position, including the first adoption of TD's own items.
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 same rule as the toolbar; the automatic passes place entries per side without writing any tool's position.
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 same rule as the toolbar; a PlaceWidgetSequence that writes no host, for the automatic passes.
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 the Hub's boot passes no longer renumber the bar; a tool keeps its shipped slot and group brackets, dividers and TD's own buttons are placed between the tools (new PlaceWidgetSequence), so an in-session update no longer leaves tools tied at one number or roams positions the user never chose.
• Updater 3.2.27 -> 3.2.28 the licence key, the licence product, the update endpoints (Base URL, Gate URL) and the store folder no longer travel between projects through the settings file; Active, Use Discovery, Show Progress, Show Notes and Keep Store still do. New quick-launch command Install agent skill copies the FNSTools agent skill into the project (.claude/skills/fnstools) or the user skills folder, idempotent by version; a store refresh now also fetches the skill bundle and lays it out beside the FNS family folder in the palette. When an update finishes replacing packages, the Hub's toolbar, navbar and main-menu group brackets are re-placed around the settled bar, and the updater tells the Hub while a pass is still replacing packages so no group is dropped mid-update.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.49 -> 3.2.72 the install picker's home is the list of tools: a start screen, then the catalog with the picks ticked and the set as a drawer over it, then an install screen that brings you back to the tools; the Patreon chips have their own colour; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.28

The install picker is a wizard whose home is the list of tools: a start screen with the starting points, then the catalog with your picks ticked and your set as a drawer over it, then an install screen that shows the plan, the progress and the result and brings you back to the tools; the Patreon chips and the With Patreon label have their own colour, apart from the one that marks a ticked tool.

The toolkit now ships an agent skill: a reference bundle for a coding agent (Claude Code, and any agent that reads the Agent Skills format) with one page per public package listing its promoted API, quick-launch commands, hotkeys and parameters, rendered from the manifest at every build, checked against the release build before a release can ship, and placed into a project by the Install agent skill command.

v3.2.71 2026-10-17

• ChopBank 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4

• ComplexMix 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• ComplexOp 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• ConstantCHOP 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 switching Type no longer breaks the parameters. The value used to land outside its block and Snap Input was renamed; now every block keeps its name and its value converts to the new type.
• CookBar 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 a COMP whose cooking is switched off (by hand, or by a scene changer's Control Cook) now shows a grey hatched bar, and Values reads "cooking off", so a frozen network explains itself.
• EaseInterpolator 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4
• ExpressionPOP 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• AltSelect 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7

• CommandRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• ConfigHost 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 your toolbar, navbar, main menu and hub tab arrangement follows you between projects only where you changed it; everything else takes each release's layout. A project is saved into your settings only after you rearrange something in it, so opening and saving a project never spreads whatever layout it happened to load with. Before, a settings file replayed an older release's order over the new one, and tools added by an update landed out of place.
• Console 3.2.17 -> 3.2.18 after an install from Pick Tools, the console opens in the FNS Hub alone; the picker's own window used to stay open beside it.
• CustomParTools 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 the Wiki pulse on ExtUtils (the helper QuickExt docks to every extension) opens the QuickExt section of this site; it opened the retired GitHub wiki.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• HotkeyManager 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• Hub 3.2.12 -> 3.2.13 a configurator's groups and dividers follow you between projects only once you change them, so a new release's layout reaches you. An arrangement saved before this update is not reapplied once.

• OpToClipboard 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• OpenExt 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• Output 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• OverlayRegistry 0.2.1 dragging a container from the network editor onto the FNS button shows the Register menu again while an overlay is showing; the overlay no longer encloses the operators under it. A tool's layer (Cook Bar) now shows on a fresh install without a manual Unregister and Register: a host that comes up before the global registry waits for it. on a Non-Commercial licence the overlay is drawn at the size it reports, so layers line up (it used to miss the licence, and TD drew it smaller than layers expected); interactive widgets stay on screen when a newer version of the registry takes over. This is version 0.2.1, shared with TDXCollab; it also no longer leaves a "cook dependency loop" warning on the registry after its extension reinitialises.
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.4 -> 0.1.5
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7

• ResetPLS 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10
• SearchFix 0.2.6 -> 0.2.7
• SearchPalette 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 the Help page's version cell no longer raises a warning in a project whose file name carries no version numbers: upstream's authoring stamp now falls back to the stamped version.
• SetSmoothness 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• SwapOps 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• SwitchOPs 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• SwitchTools 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 setting Switch OP on a freshly placed SwitchTools now binds the switch straight away, and pointing it at an operator that is not a switch no longer breaks the next change.
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• Updater 3.2.26 -> 3.2.27 an operator tool installed inside the toolkit before it became an FNS family member (ThresholdColor) is now actually updated; the update used to refresh only the store copy, so the same update was offered again after every run.
• VSCodeTools 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• iopBrowser 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• FeedbackDisplace 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6

• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• PrismTOP 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• QuickMarks 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 Ctrl+number lands on the stored view on the first press. The network editor sometimes takes the switch a few frames late and opened the network at its old view, so a jump could need a second press; the jump now checks its view for a few frames and puts it back if the editor overwrote it.
• RealRamp 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4
• SeqMod 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• SlideShow 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• ThresholdColor 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• TopToMidi 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 in Index mode Steps now always matches the number of sample points, including when the Sampler changes or the tool loads already in Index mode (it used to keep a stale count such as 25).

• oscMapper 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.48 -> 3.2.49 the install picker is a guided wizard: a start screen, Find my set, your set as the home screen with the catalog behind it, and an install screen that shows the plan, the progress and the script to paste, with a landing per flavor; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.27
• FNSTools-DevKit.zip, new the eleven registries, each as its own tox, with a README and the licence, for building a tool against FNSTools without installing the toolkit

The shipped toolbar, navbar, menu and hub tab places are now each tool's defaults, so every tool with a place on those surfaces is re-released with this fix.

Pick Tools questionnaire: "How do you like to work?" takes more than one answer, the components question asks about Python and custom parameters separately (custom parameters recommends Custom Par Tools), and the result list drops the "because" lines.

The toolkit's web browser panel no longer raises an error when its window closes.

Released tools no longer carry the old Info Header blocks (author machine and project name) at the top of their scripts: the release export strips them from every package and refuses to ship one it cannot strip.

The toolkit container has a new Remove Patreon Tools pulse on its FNSTools page, for a project file you publish, sell or share: it removes every Patreon tool from the project, installed or placed in your networks. The first press lists them in the Textport and a second within 10 seconds removes them (arrives with the next installer and bootstrap rebuild).

Every registry, and every tool that carries a registry host: placed in a project without the toolkit (a standalone copy of a tool, or a registry from the developer kit), the host switches its cloning off instead of crashing TouchDesigner on its next parameter write, and switches it back on when the toolkit arrives.

A developer kit, FNSTools-DevKit.zip, is a new download beside the installer: the eleven registries, each as its own tox, with a README, for building a tool against FNSTools without installing the toolkit. Linked from the website, the getting-started guide and the repository README.

• Hub 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12

• OverlayRegistry 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2 the overlay keeps the shape of your network editor; with some layers it was drawn squeezed into a square. toolbar buttons that switch an overlay (CookBar, POPOverlay) answer every click again; the registry no longer rebuilds itself and redraws the network editor's overlay on each switch.

• oscMapper 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6

The /get page has a download icon on each free tool's card: the tool on its own as a single .tox, with a one-time note that an install keeps it up to date.

Tools no longer ship the notes written on their own networks; only their licence notes stay inside.

Tools that keep a log inside them (ColorUI, HotkeyManager, PasteFromClipboard) ship with it empty.

v3.2.69 2026-10-12

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.47 -> 3.2.48 the install picker notices a sign-in made elsewhere, and a session that came back, without reopening; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.26
• CookBar 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 with its bars hidden from the network overlay and its Top List off, nothing of it runs; with only the Top List on, it skips the bars. The Top List no longer arrives showing operator names from the machine it was built on.
• ColorUI 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 ships with no saved color overrides: a release never carries the colors of the machine it was built on, only TD's defaults until yours load.
• Console 3.2.16 -> 3.2.17 the Updates tab labels a Patreon update your account does not include as "needs your account".
• OverlayRegistry 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1 uses about half the graphics memory while drawing (18 MB less at a typical network editor size): the transparent layer that fills the composite's second slot is now tiny. Panning and zooming the network editor no longer slows the frame: the overlay stays put while it still covers the view, and a widget waits for a zoom to settle before it moves back to its corner.
• Updater 3.2.25 -> 3.2.26 a newer FNS family operator or op menu alternative now shows on the Updates tab when your store holds an older copy, and Update downloads the new .tox into the store (operators you already placed keep their version). A newer Patreon tool your account does not hold is listed with the reason and no longer counts as an update that never clears. The FNS tab no longer shows a version number its file does not have yet.
• QuickMarks 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 its overlay starts off: a fresh install draws nothing on the network editor until you switch on Mark List or Pins, or press Alt+Shift+M (v3.2.68 shipped it on). QuickMarks itself stays on, so the keys work from the start. While it is on, it does no per-frame work unless its list or its outlines are actually showing. The tool no longer carries the old marks of the machine it was built on.

v3.2.68 2026-10-12

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.46 -> 3.2.47 the install picker refuses to add a second copy of a tool the project already has, and the bootstrap carries its MIT licence note and the notices for people and agents; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.25
• ChopBank 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ChopProcess 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• CircularDistortionTOP 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2

• ComplexMix 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• ComplexOp 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• ConstantCHOP 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• CookBar 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 its Max Ops and Annotation Alpha settings now survive updates, saved with the rest of your FNSTools settings. Active is deliberately not kept. the bars now draw over the network, above the nodes, through the new overlay registry. Your network's display flags, annotations and operators are left alone while they show; earlier versions switched the display flags off and faded the annotations, and anything left from that is cleaned up on start. New Top List: a small list in a corner of the network editor names the heaviest operators in the network you are viewing, by cook time (only what cooked in the last second) or GPU memory, switched with tabs along its top; click a row to select that operator and zoom to it. Top List, Rank By, List Corner, List Margin and List Rows set it up, and the arrow beside the tabs folds it. Its toolbar button reacts to every click (it could need several), and its toolbar settings are on Cook Bar's own Registry page. In a network with many operators the bars no longer pull the frame rate down: /FNSTools went from 12 fps to a steady 60. Reading an operator's cook time is slow while its network is open in an editor, and Cook Bar read it for every operator every frame; it now reads only operators in view, and only after they cook. New Values option: each bar's number written next to it, cook time above the operator and GPU memory below. New List Order sets the Top List's place among other tools' lists in its corner. Hiding Cook Bar's bars from the Overlay tab in FNS_Hub leaves Cook Bar running. Its toolbar icon now lights while Cook Bar is on; it showed the opposite.

• AutoRes 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• BorderlessTD 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 GridShow's toolbar order and display settings are on the tool's Registry page again, and moving GridShow on the toolbar no longer breaks them.

• CommandRegistry 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• ConfigHost 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 where you put a tool's toolbar, navbar or menu button now survives a restart for the tools whose button sits inside them (Mute, Volume, CookBar, GridShow, MIDILearn and nine more); their settings never held it before. Settings that name this project's operators (Output's perform window, TimelineTools' animation, midiMapper's mapping table, ...) no longer travel into your other projects, and an exclusion now also stops an older settings file from bringing the value back. Hotkeys are saved by the Hotkey Manager only, no longer twice.
• Console 3.2.15 -> 3.2.16 the Updates tab lists standalone copies under Needs attention, with a Take over button that shows what will happen first.
• CustomParTools 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 the toolbar button's tooltip describes what middle-click does now (collapse the selection with QuickCollapse) and mentions Alt+right-click for the documentation. Its four stock-TD hotkeys share one Keyboard In, and its navbar and toolbar parts read the modifier keys from one place, so each pane bar no longer runs its own keyboard listeners.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 the volume slider has a tooltip. The Mute icon now lights while the sound is muted; it showed the opposite.
• HotkeyManager 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 a licence key is never mistaken for a hotkey.
• Hub 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 hover over a tab to see what the tool does, and right-click it for its documentation or its parameters. The FNS button's right-click menu now also opens the documentation, the website, and Toolbar tool docs, a list of every toolbar tool that opens its docs page. a toolbar, navbar or main-menu group now forms around whichever of its tools are installed. It used to need the specific first and last tool it was built around, and vanished without them. New Overlay tab: every layer and corner widget that tools draw on the network editor, to reorder, hide (without switching the tool off), and move a widget to another corner or margin. Every change lands on the tool's own parameters.
• HubRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• HydroHomie 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 with On Start Active on, the reminder now comes up when the project opens. Its extension only started once something touched it, so the startup check never ran.
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• Misc 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• OpFamily 0.1.7 -> 0.1.8 carries the TDFam NOTICE and the Apache 2.0 licence it is built with. turning off "Install On Start" for the FNS operator family now sticks across your projects; nothing else of the family's setup travels.
• OpMenuMods 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its Version reads the package version again (it had stuck at 1.1.1), so an update replaces the copy already running instead of tying with it.
• OpTemplates 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9
• OpToClipboard 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• OpenExt 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• Output 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• OverlayRegistry 0.1.0 new. One overlay over the network editor you work in, composited from every tool that draws there and shown above the nodes; it follows your pane, leaves before every save, and costs nothing while no tool draws. Tools hand it one image and get back where to draw it. Tools can also pin a small clickable panel to a corner of the network editor, at a margin each tool sets; panels in one corner stack instead of overlapping. A layer now has two switches: Displayed is yours and only hides the layer, and the tool's own on/off decides whether it draws at all, so hiding a layer never switches its tool off. Corner widgets stay registered while hidden, and each names the parameters behind it, so the new Overlay tab in FNS_Hub can manage them.
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.2 -> 0.1.3 its order parameter now reads "Find Bar Order"; it said "Toolbar Order", left over from the registry it was copied from.
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• ParOPDrop 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• ParRandomizer 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• ParentHierarchy 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 its navbar position is remembered across restarts.
• QuickCollapse 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• QuickPane 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• QuickTime 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• ResetPLS 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• SearchFix 0.2.4 -> 0.2.5 its settings (Active, Legacy, Fuzzy, Depth, Max Results, the find bar toggle and its shortcut) now survive updates. New quick-launch commands: Toggle SearchFix, Toggle fuzzy find, Toggle legacy find (each shows whether it is on) and Repatch find bars.
• SearchPalette 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 carries the MIT notice of Yea Chen's TD-SearchPalette, which it is based on.
• SetSmoothness 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• SwapOps 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• SwitchOPs 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• SwitchTools 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 its order parameter now reads "Timeline Order"; it said "Toolbar Order", left over from the registry it was copied from.
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 Alt+right-click (Option+right-click on macOS) any toolbar button to open that tool's documentation; the click still reaches the tool as before. Documentation links now open the page on functionstore.tools; most still pointed at the old GitHub wiki. A fresh install no longer scrambles the toolbar: tools that register one by one at startup used to land by a different numbering than the rest of the bar, which put TouchDesigner's own buttons among the FNS tools and left some tools out of order. The bar now re-sorts itself once after each burst of registrations.
• Updater 3.2.24 -> 3.2.25 finds standalone copies of global tools anywhere in the project, a single .tox dropped in beside the toolkit, and takes one over on request: it moves into the toolkit with its settings, or is deleted when the toolkit has its own. A renamed tool in the toolkit is still recognised and updated, and gets its name back.
• VSCodeTools 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 Alt+right-click on its toolbar button opens its page on functionstore.tools, not the old wiki. no longer ships pointing at the toolkit author's own workspace file; it starts empty and names the workspace after your project.
• iopBrowser 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 its navbar position is remembered across restarts.
• FeedbackDisplace 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4
• FloatDataRecorder 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• InstanceTrailer 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• KinectSinglePlayer 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• LayerSep3D 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• LinkOPs 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• MaskDraw 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• MoveDetectDir 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• OpenOp 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• Particles2D_POP 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ParticlesGpuUltimate 1.0.1 -> 2.0.0 version 2. The fluid simulation is gone; Life, Turbulence and Wind can each read their own image (new in_life_source, in_turb_source and in_wind_source inputs), a Post page adds a feedback pass for trails with Dry / Wet, Forces come as radial, axial, vortex or spiral fields, and every parameter has a tooltip again. This is a breaking update for networks that use 1.x: the fluid input and the FLUID page are gone, and the inputs are now main, raw position, raw colour, optical flow, then the turbulence, wind and life sources (raw colour and raw position swapped places), so check what is wired in after updating.
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• PrismTOP 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• QuickMarks 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 your marks now show on the network editor while QuickMarks is active. A mark list in a corner shows every mark by number and name with the one for the network you are in highlighted, and a click jumps there; outlines show the area each mark saved, labelled with its number and name. Right-click a mark in the list to rename it; a mark whose network is gone reads missing; the arrow on the title row folds the list. Mark List, List Corner, List Margin, Pins and Mark List Collapsed set them up. A fresh install no longer comes with the toolkit author's marks in it. New List Order sets the mark list's place among other tools' lists in its corner. Hiding the outlines from the Overlay tab in FNS_Hub leaves QuickMarks running. Alt+Shift+M, or Toggle QuickMarks overlay in quick-launch, hides or shows the list and the outlines together while your marks keep working (the Overlay Hotkey parameter). Changing the Shortcuts parameter now changes the keys; it had stopped reaching them.
• RealRamp 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• SeqMod 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
• SlideShow 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• ThresholdColor 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• TopToMidi 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• midiMapper 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 middle-clicking the MIDI Learn toolbar button resets all MIDI again (it raised an error), and Alt+right-click on it opens the docs without resetting anything.
• oscMapper 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5

The picker no longer announces a new tool you already have. A tool picked on the website and installed by the paste used to greet you again in TouchDesigner as "already picked"; the installer now records an installed tool as shown, and the console's new-tools count leaves installed tools out.

Tools now carry their licence inside the file, as a note in their network, each from its next release on: the MIT licence in full for free tools, the Patreon licence for the rest, so a copy that travels on says what it is. The terms now say plainly that a Patreon tool may not be built into a tool, template or pack you hand on, and that handing a client a project that uses one, so they can run it, is fine.

Global tools carry a small guard from their next release on: dropped into a project whose toolkit already has it, it releases its shortcut so the toolkit keeps working, and takes it back wherever no toolkit copy exists.

The picker no longer installs a second copy of a tool that is already in the project as a single download: it says where the copy is and points at Take over in the console (arrives with the next installer rebuild). A copy with its FNS:GLOBAL tag removed is treated as your own and left alone. A new guide, Working with FNSTools in your project, says what an update replaces and how to keep your own version of a tool.

Group switches on the toolbar, navbar and main menu now show their state: a lighter background while the group is open, a darker one while it is collapsed.

New installs get one deliberate toolbar layout: every FNS button inside an FNSTools group, sorted into Project, Control, Network and Parameters groups, with TouchDesigner's own buttons left as they are. Before, each tool shipped wherever it last sat in the author's own bar, two tools could share one slot, and the group disappeared when Perform or HydroHomie was not installed.

Tools with a two-part parameter such as XY or RGB no longer raise a script error when it changes, from each tool's next release on.

v3.2.67 2026-10-07

• CookBar 1.0.0 new tool, Anton Heestand's Cook Bar. A bar above every operator in the network you are viewing shows its cook time and GPU memory, in whichever network editor pane you are working in. FNSTools' copy stays out of your network while it is off, touches only the display flags of the network you are viewing, lowers its annotations' back colour so the bars show through, and puts both back when you leave. A toolbar button switches it on, in the slot the Hog button used to have; right-click opens its parameters like the other toolbar tools, Ctrl+right-click (or the Open Global Hog CHOP pulse) opens the Global Hog CHOP, and the button turns red while the Hog is on. Quick-launch commands: Toggle cook bar, Open Global Hog CHOP. Saving the project, or removing the tool, while the bars are on no longer leaves their changes in your network.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.6 carries the same clone-safe About component as the other registries.
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.7 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• Console 3.2.15 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• CustomParTools 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 a component with a QuickExt extension keeps working when it is cloned. Its import line now also finds the ExtUtils beside the extension when a clone has not restored the dock, and QuickExt writes that line into every extension it adds, even from a template saved earlier (issue #125).
• HubRegistry 3.2.4 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.4 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• Misc 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 the Global Hog CHOP and its toolbar button moved to CookBar: Ctrl+right-click CookBar's toolbar button to open it.
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.4 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.5 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.4 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.2 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.5 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.4 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.5 the About component inside the registry hosts tools carry now loads in a clone; a host could show "module ... has no attribute ExtFnsAbout" after install (issue #125).

v3.2.66 2026-10-06

• SearchFix 0.2.4 the "ExtFnsAbout" script error in its find-bar registry host no longer comes back after install. 0.2.3 removed the component from the host, but the host, a clone of the registry, copied it back in; it no longer clones.

v3.2.65 2026-10-06

• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.1 a registry host stamped from it no longer carries a copy of the package's About component, which raised an "ExtFnsAbout" script error once the tool shipped.
• SearchFix 0.2.3 no longer shows an "ExtFnsAbout" script error inside its find-bar registry host, and that host's About values are filled in.

v3.2.64 2026-10-06

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.44 -> 3.2.45 an install made without the picker (TDX Launcher Ultra, a pasted script) counts as the first run, so its first picker shows no "New since you last looked"; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.24

A new machine that installs FNSTools through TDX Launcher Ultra, a pasted script or any other rail that skips the picker no longer sees "New since you last looked" the first time it opens the picker. That install now counts as the first run it is, so every current tool starts out as already shown.

v3.2.63 2026-10-05

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.43 -> 3.2.44 the install picker's ranked, docs-aware search and Compact view, and FNS_PaneSearchRegistry in core; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.24
• PaneSearchRegistry 0.1.0 new. Publishes controls into the find bar of every network editor pane, beside its Home toggle, one copy per pane; a pane that opens its find bar later gets them too.
• SearchFix 0.2.2 new. The network editor's find bar finds any part of a name, any case, with wildcards, optionally fuzzy and inside child networks, keeping its arrows and Home toggle. Legacy brings TouchDesigner's own search back, and Ctrl+F (Cmd+F) closes the bar while you are typing in it.

From this release on, a tool's About page is its last parameter page when it ships: a page added after About while the tool was being built no longer sits behind it. Each tool picks this up the next time it is released.

The install picker's search now reads each tool's documentation, its tags and the operators it stands in for, survives a typo, and lists the best match first in one ranked list (Enter ticks the top one); a hit found only in the docs says which words found it. A Compact toggle beside the filters shows title-only tiles, with the description on hover.

v3.2.62 2026-09-30

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.42 -> 3.2.43 the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.24, so a dismissed Patreon sign-in no longer locks Sign in on a fresh install
• Updater 3.2.23 -> 3.2.24 closing or cancelling the Patreon sign-in page no longer locks Sign in for five minutes. Clicking Sign in again starts a fresh sign-in straight away.

v3.2.61 2026-09-30

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.41 -> 3.2.42 offers "Install " commands for tools this project does not have; the bootstrap never ships a config-file override; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.23
• BorderlessTD 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• CommandPalette 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 "Install " commands show with their own INSTALL badge.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 a tool that is bypassed or has cooking off no longer offers its commands in the command palette or the launcher, and running one of them says why instead of failing. Tools can also switch single commands off with a new enabled setting.
• CustomParTools 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• HydroHomie 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• Misc 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• OpTemplates 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 a Library Folder parameter chooses which folder in your palette holds the global template library, so a second setup can keep its own set apart. Leave it empty to keep the usual folder. Downloaded on its own, it also loads without a clone warning from its toolbar button.
• Output 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• ParOPDrop 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• ParRandomizer 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• QuickTime 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• ResetPLS 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• SetSmoothness 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• SwapOps 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 toolbar hosts that still pointed at the registry by a fixed relative path are switched to the location-independent link on start, so a tool used outside the toolkit no longer shows a clone warning.
• Updater 3.2.22 -> 3.2.23 keeps the "Install " commands current after every store download or update and when your sign-in or entitlements change.
• VSCodeTools 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.
• RealRamp 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 now an alternative for the Ramp TOP (create a Ramp TOP with the alternatives shortcut held) and no longer an FNS family operator. Colour keys are a sequence of parameters on the Keys page, with Step, Linear, Ease In Ease Out and Hermite blending like the Ramp TOP. It starts horizontal, Extend adds Hold and Zero beside Repeat and Mirror, and Radial and Circular now match the Ramp TOP: Radial starts at 3 o'clock and period and phase behave the same way.
• ThresholdColor 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 installs as an alternative for the Threshold TOP only. Create a Threshold TOP with the alternatives shortcut held to use it; an install no longer puts a copy inside the toolkit.
• midiMapper 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 its toolbar button links to the toolbar registry by a location-independent path, so the tool downloaded on its own loads without a clone warning.

FNS_Installer: offers "Install " as a command in the command palette and the launcher for every tool this project does not have and your account can install. Running it installs the tool, downloading it first when needed.

The tools with a toolbar button (BorderlessTD, CustomParTools, GlobalVolControl, HydroHomie, Misc, OpTemplates, Output, ParOPDrop, ParRandomizer, QuickTime, Remote, ResetPLS, SetSmoothness, SwapOps, VSCodeTools, midiMapper) ship with that link, so each one downloaded on its own loads without a warning.

v3.2.60 2026-09-27

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.40 -> 3.2.41 rebuilt: the Community card's Install says it installs the latest release; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.22
• Console 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14 the Community card's Install says it installs the latest release.
• Updater 3.2.21 -> 3.2.22 a community tool shipped as a Python package installs its latest release by name; a dry run goes first and the install is refused if it would add a package TouchDesigner ships.

v3.2.59 2026-09-27

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.39 -> 3.2.40 rebuilt: the picker opens with the Patreon or Free filter on from a link (/get/#patreon, #free, #all); the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.21

v3.2.58 2026-09-26

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.38 -> 3.2.39 rebuilt: the picker drops the 'All N tools' caption when nothing is filtered (a search or filter still says what it kept); the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.21

v3.2.57 2026-09-26

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.37 -> 3.2.38 rebuilt: the picker points to the console's Community tab instead of listing other creators' tools, the installer places and installs those tools (a pinned tox, or a locked Python package), a community tool may be placed in the project root, the category rail sits at the side from 1000px, category groups have no headings, and the Place button sits in the card's corner; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.21
• Console 3.2.12 -> 3.2.13 a new Community tab lists tools by other creators, with their write-up, the author's page, and Place or Install. The list reaches the console now (it was never forwarded). Reopening the console from the hub returns to the view you were last on, instead of Settings.
• Updater 3.2.20 -> 3.2.21 places a pinned tool from "From other creators" into your working network when the picker asks, and deletes a download that fails its size or hash check instead of leaving it in the store. It also installs a community tool shipped as a Python package: exactly the versions we checked, into your project's Python environment, then places its tox. A project without an environment is offered TouchDesigner's own manager to create one.

The picker no longer lists tools by other creators among ours: one line points to the console's Community tab (or to functionstore.tools/community/ outside the console).

The picker inside the console is quieter: the Patreon line appears only when something needs doing (signed out, link lost, nothing unlocked) with its one fix and a link to how unlocking works, Expand and Collapse sit on the filter row, and the count says how many picks need Patreon.

v3.2.56 2026-09-25

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.36 -> 3.2.37 rebuilt: the picker hides tools that are not released yet from everyone but the owner, never announces a Patreon tool the viewer cannot get, and lets the new-tools window be turned off; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.20
• ChopBank 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• ChopProcess 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• ConstantCHOP 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• ExpressionPOP 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• FeedbackDisplace 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• PrismTOP 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.
• ThresholdColor 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 the operator types it stands in for live in its alternatives table, which the content CMS can now read and edit.

v3.2.55 2026-09-25

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.35 -> 3.2.36 rebuilt: the installer announces new tools once and downloads a family operator it has on record but no longer has the file for; the picker shows the two category groups; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.20, which keeps family operators current
• AltSelect 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• AutoCombine 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• AutoRes 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• BorderlessTD 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• ColorUI 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• CommandPalette 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 the palette folder migration keeps the old copy of a file both folders hold under FNSTools/legacy_FNStools_ext/ instead of deleting it.
• ConfigHost 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 the palette folder migration keeps the old copy of a file both folders hold under FNSTools/legacy_FNStools_ext/ instead of deleting it.
• Console 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 the Install & remove tab shows how many tools are new since you last looked.
• CustomParTools 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• HotkeyManager 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• Hub 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10
• HydroHomie 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• Misc 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• OpFamily 0.1.6 -> 0.1.7 the FNS operator family has a new colour, a brick red (0.569 0.265 0.188), in the OP Create dialog and on its operators.
• OpMenuMods 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• OpTemplates 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 finds the template library you already have before creating one from the shipped templates. That covers the _2023 copy TouchDesigner 2023 saved to, an OPTemplates2.tox or higher from the old Create New choice, and a copy the palette folder migration set aside. The most recently saved one wins, and whatever it replaces is kept as OPTemplates1.before-adopt.tox.
• OpToClipboard 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• OpenExt 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the palette folder migration keeps the old copy of a file both folders hold under FNSTools/legacy_FNStools_ext/ instead of deleting it.
• Output 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• ParOPDrop 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• ParRandomizer 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• QuickCollapse 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• QuickPane 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• QuickTime 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• ResetPLS 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• SearchPalette 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• SetSmoothness 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• SwapOps 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• SwitchOPs 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• SwitchTools 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5 sits under COMP in the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog.
• Updater 3.2.19 -> 3.2.20 the palette folder migration keeps the old copy of a file both folders hold under FNSTools/legacy_FNStools_ext/ instead of deleting it. Update keeps FNS family operators current. A family operator whose store copy is missing or older than the release is now an update like any other, and the family folder follows. Before this, family operators never updated.
• VSCodeTools 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• QuickMarks 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• SlideShow 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 sits under COMP in the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog.
• TopToMidi 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 sits under COMP in the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog.
• midiMapper 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• oscMapper 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4

When a release adds tools, the picker says so once: a "New since you last looked" window lists them with a tick each, and they keep a New badge. A first install is never shown the whole catalog. The installer also downloads a family operator it has on record but no longer has the file for.

The tool categories are reorganised into two groups: Working in TouchDesigner (Interface, Network, Parameters, Project, Developer, Miscellaneous) and Making the piece (Time & sequencing, Control & mapping, CHOPs & sensing, Visual, 3D and Particles, Show & output). The picker shows the two groups as headings. Operators moved out of Control and Media & Output into categories of their own, and links to the old docs sections still land on their successors.

The guided setup's questionnaire separates two meanings that shared one tag: its point-and-click answer now recommends tools with a window, tab or pane to work in, and the image effects, particles and scene changers are recommended to people who make live visuals or generative art.

The guided setup asks a new question, what you build with: CHOPs, image effects, particles and 3D, sequencing, cameras and sensors, MIDI controllers, OSC or phone control, or scenes and show playback. Each answer leads to its own tools, and "just the editor tools" leaves the operators out.

v3.2.54 2026-09-24

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.34 -> 3.2.35 rebuilt: the installer carries the redesigned picker and Place once (a placed tool lands in this project without joining the setup); the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.19

The tool picker is redesigned. Patreon tools now sit last in every section, behind a "With Patreon" divider. Beside the search, All / Free / Patreon narrows the list, with a count on each choice. Selected shows only what you picked, and New shows the packages new in this release line. A results line names what is shown, with a removable chip per filter, and Select all / Clear act on exactly that list. Each section has its own Select section. Inside TouchDesigner each card says whether Apply will install it, keep it or remove it. The count in the footer opens a tray of everything you picked, grouped by what Apply does with it. Section headers work from the keyboard, and "/" jumps to the search.

Some tools can now be placed in one project without becoming part of your setup: their cards carry "place in this project only", and "Set up like last time" leaves them out of the next project. Every FNS family operator has it, and so do TDXMap and ParHoverMIDI_VSN1. The picker's new Placeable filter lists the tools you drop into a network as nodes.

v3.2.53 2026-09-24

• CircularDistortionTOP 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 every parameter has a tooltip, and the docs page describes each control from it.
• EaseInterpolator 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 every parameter has a tooltip, and the docs page describes each control from it.
• ExpressionPOP 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 every parameter has a tooltip, and the docs page describes each control from it.

• OpFamily 0.1.5 -> 0.1.6 every parameter has a tooltip, and the docs page describes each control from it.
• SwitchTools 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 runs the shared parameter helper, so the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error.
• FeedbackDisplace 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 every parameter has a tooltip, and the docs page describes each control from it.
• FloatDataRecorder 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 no missing-file error when a project opens before anything has been recorded; the CHOP player stays bypassed until its clip exists.

v3.2.52 2026-09-24

• ChopBank 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). One processor per channel with its own range, curve, zero-below, lag and speed, built from the input with Snap Input; an alternative for the Math CHOP and the Constant CHOP.
• ChopProcess 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). Limit, remap with an exponent curve, zero-below, lag and a speed mode in one node; an alternative for the Math CHOP.
• CircularDistortionTOP 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). Rings of displacement around a centre you place, with phase, frequency, amplitude and a mode blend.
• ColorGen 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). A colour palette generator shaped by a phase step per channel and per channel exponents, with a lookup ramp output.
• ColorGenPro 1.0.0 new package (Pro, FNS operator family). A cosine palette generator in GLSL with the full coefficient set, an RGB and D mode and a blackout region with a soft edge.
• ComplexMix 1.0.0 new package. Combines two UV fields as complex numbers and samples an image through the result. FNS operator family member.

• ConstantCHOP 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). Typed constants promoted as properties you can read and set, with a snap from the input; an alternative for the Constant CHOP. Snap Input keeps the names it snaps (new blocks are only auto-named when empty), and blocks it adds get their properties at once.
• EaseInterpolator 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). Crossfades two CHOPs through an easing curve: thirty classic easings or a custom curve from a third input, driven by one Select value.
• ExpressionPOP 1.0.0 new package (free, FNS operator family). Per-point attribute expressions compiled to a GLSL compute shader; an alternative for the Math Combine POP.
• AltSelect 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• AutoCombine 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• AutoRes 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• BorderlessTD 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).

• CommandPalette 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 commands you run often now rank higher (Rank By Usage, on by default). The bonus fades with a 14-day half-life, never outranks a better match or a favourite, and is shared with the TDXLU launcher. Clear usage on the Commands tab forgets the palette's history.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• ConfigHost 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• Console 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• CustomParTools 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 CustomParHelper skips parameters destroyed in the same frame they changed, so shrinking a sequence no longer raises "Invalid Par object" in every tool that uses it. CustomParHelper builds a freshly placed tool's extension before routing its first parameter callback, so the first pulse on a new node is no longer lost.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).

• ParHoverMIDI_VSN1 1.9.0
• Particles2D_POP 1.0.0 new package (Base, FNS operator family). A 2D particle simulation as a POP loop: a source image emits, curl noise and wind steer, trails stretch, points ride out for your own render.
• ParticlesGpuUltimate 1.0.0 new package (Pro, FNS operator family). A GPU particle system driven by images, with look, life, turbulence, wind and force fields and a fluid simulation.
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 the first parameter change on a freshly placed copy is no longer lost, and shrinking a parameter sequence no longer raises an error (shared parameter helper).

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.33 -> 3.2.34 rebuilt: the installer carries the updated configurator page, and the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.19 with the shared parameter helper fixes

Fourteen tools ported into the toolkit from the root PORT TOOLS bench, adopted as packages with unprefixed names. Thirteen are FNS operator family members (the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog); ThresholdColor is the Threshold TOP alternative.

ParHoverMIDI_VSN1: new foreign package. Parameter control by hovering with endless MIDI encoders, built for the Intech Studio VSN1; mirrored from its own GitHub releases, lands at the network root, explicit pick only, updates itself.

v3.2.51 2026-09-23

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.32 -> 3.2.33 rebuilt: every registry host they carry runs the shared base that lets a stamped host's canonical name follow its owner; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.18
• AltSelect 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• AutoCombine 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 same watcher fix as AutoRes; a drop into a freshly entered network no longer combines every TOP there.
• AutoRes 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 a drop no longer resizes every generator TOP on the level. The new-operator watcher compared the network you dropped into against a snapshot of the network you came from, so everything read as new; it now re-baselines when the watched network changes. AutoRes also asks the OS whether Alt is held, so an Alt that stuck after an alt-tab cannot arm it.
• BorderlessTD 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• ColorUI 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• CommandKit 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• CommandPalette 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• CommandRegistry 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• ConfigHost 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• Console 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10
• CustomParTools 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 promoting a parameter that has an expression or a bind now carries it onto the promoted parameter, with every relative reference in it (op paths, me, parent(), parent and internal shortcuts) rebased so it resolves the same operators from the target; the original still follows the promoted one as before. A reference that cannot be resolved leaves the value on the promoted parameter and logs why. The customize dialog opens with the Label field showing the parameter's own label, and an empty Label field now means that label, not the name typed in the dialog. the QuickExt new-operator watcher re-baselines when the watched network changes and tolerates a missing Target.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• HotkeyManager 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• Hub 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8
• HubRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• HydroHomie 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• Misc 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• OpFamily 0.1.4 -> 0.1.5
• OpMenuMods 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5
• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• OpTemplates 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 both new-operator watchers re-baseline when the watched network changes.
• OpToClipboard 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• OpenExt 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• Output 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 a registered pane type can be picked again from the pane dropdown right after closing a pane that showed it and splitting a new one. TouchDesigner reuses the closed pane's dropdown state for the next pane in that slot; the registry now corrects that state as the dropdown opens, and equips pane slots that appear later in a session.
• ParOPDrop 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• ParRandomizer 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• ParentHierarchy 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• QuickCollapse 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• QuickPane 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• QuickTime 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• ResetPLS 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• SearchPalette 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 new Hide Palette When Idle option on the TD-SearchPalette page, off by default. When on, the palette browser closes after the chosen number of minutes without the mouse in it or typing in the search field; opening the palette, moving into it or typing restarts the countdown.
• SetSmoothness 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 holding Alt while picking a smoothness now sets every TOP in the network on macOS as well. The modifier is Alt on both platforms, as the button help says; the tool asks the OS whether it is held, so an Alt that stuck after an alt-tab no longer forces the set-all path.
• SwapOps 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• SwitchOPs 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• SwitchTools 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3
• TimelineRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• ToolbarRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• Updater 3.2.17 -> 3.2.18
• VSCodeTools 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• iopBrowser 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
• QuickMarks 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• TDXMap 1.2.0
• midiMapper 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• oscMapper 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2

A registry host stamped by drop-to-register takes its canonical name from the component it lands in by expression, so a pasted copy of that component registers under its own name instead of taking over the original entry. Existing hosts whose name simply repeated their owner are switched to the expression on init; hand-authored names are left alone.

v3.2.50 2026-09-22

v3.2.49 2026-09-22

v3.2.48 2026-09-21

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.31 -> 3.2.32 the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.17, which no longer pops a window on project start
• Updater 3.2.16 -> 3.2.17 the popup that appeared on the first project open after an update is gone. The updater now says what landed in the Textport as the update finishes, which is where you already are, and nothing about an update happens on project start.

v3.2.47 2026-09-21

• ParOPDrop 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 a drop no longer fails with UnboundLocalError when the held modifier and the latched CHOP flags disagree (after an extension reinit, for one); the placed operator is now decided by the same OS-level modifier check as the drop gate.

v3.2.46 2026-09-21

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.30 -> 3.2.31 the install command the website hands you writes into the toolkit's current palette folder; it named the pre-v3.2.42 one, which the toolkit renamed out from under it mid-install; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.16
• CommandPalette 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 carries the current config registry code, which had been frozen several versions back on this tool.
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 a tool whose config tooltip still named the old palette folder corrects itself when it loads.

The install command on the website works again. It wrote your picks into the toolkit's old palette folder, which the toolkit then renamed out from under it, so the install either lost the file naming your picks or fell back to an older catalog that happened to be on the machine. It now writes to the current folder.

v3.2.45 2026-09-19

• OpFamily 0.1.3 -> 0.1.4 the FNS operator family has a new color, 0.5 0.5 0.

v3.2.44 2026-09-19

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.29 -> 3.2.30 rebuilt, with no change of their own: the toolkit root they carry was re-saved, and shipping different bytes under one rail version is what this bump avoids

v3.2.43 2026-09-19

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.28 -> 3.2.29 a clean start refreshes the package catalog before it installs, so a machine whose store predates the release no longer installs that older release into a new project; a tool that is installed without being placed anywhere is recorded as installed; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.16
• Updater 3.2.15 -> 3.2.16 a tool that is installed without being placed in a project is reported as available on disk, no longer as missing.

A clean start no longer installs an old release. The package store is

machine-wide and outlives every project, so a store left behind by an

earlier install kept being used as the catalog: a fresh project could

install a release several versions old, correct in every byte and wrong

in every version, and the FNS operator family could still drop copies

into your network because that is what the old catalog asked for. The

silent "set up like last time" install now refreshes the catalog before

it plans, which is what the Pick Tools picker has always done.

A tool that installs without being placed anywhere, like the FNS

operator family, is now recorded as installed, so Pick Tools stops

offering it every time.

v3.2.42 2026-09-18

• CommandPalette 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 the curation file moved to FNSTools/config/command-curation.json.
• ConfigHost 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 the settings file is FNSTools/config/FNStools_config.json.
• ConfigRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 the settings file is FNSTools/config/FNStools_config.json.
• CustomParTools 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 the extension template file is looked up under FNSTools/scripts.
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 its table lives in FNSTools/tables.
• HotkeyManager 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 its gathered hotkeys table lives in FNSTools/tables.
• OpFamily 0.1.2 -> 0.1.3 reads its operators from the flat FNSTools/FNS folder; the category comes from each operator's manifest.
• OpMenuMods 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 its tables live in FNSTools/tables.
• OpTemplates 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 the global template library lives in FNSTools/OpTemplates.
• ResetPLS 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 its tables live in FNSTools/tables.
• Updater 3.2.14 -> 3.2.15 the package store is FNSTools/store, and the family folder and the palette copy are one flat FNSTools/FNS folder; a legacy FNStools_ext folder is migrated on first sight.

Installing an FNS family tool no longer drops a copy into the network you are working in. The tools are released as family members precisely so you can create them from the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog when you want one, and they are now in the TouchDesigner palette too; installing makes them available rather than placing one.

The toolkit's machine-wide folder in the TouchDesigner user palette is now FNSTools; the old FNStools_ext folder is renamed into place the first time any tool looks, so the store, your settings, tables and template library all move without a download or a re-save. The FNS operator family lives flat in FNSTools/FNS, one tox per tool under its plain name with its manifest beside it, and that same folder is what TouchDesigner's Palette shows.

v3.2.41 2026-09-18

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.27 -> 3.2.28 installing an FNS family tool records it and places nothing, instead of spawning a copy into the network you are working in; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.14
• Updater 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14 the FNS operator tools now appear in TouchDesigner's own palette. They are mirrored into a flat FNStools_ext/FNS folder under their plain names, and TD's palette index is rebuilt and reloaded so they show up without a restart. The versioned family folder the OP Create tab reads is unchanged.

Installing an FNS family tool no longer drops a copy into the network you are working in. The tools are released as family members precisely so you can create them from the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog when you want one, and they are now in the TouchDesigner palette too; installing makes them available rather than placing one.

v3.2.40 2026-09-18

• OpFamily 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2
• ParentHierarchy 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• iopBrowser 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2

Four more tools stop shipping our version-history apparatus: FNS_OpFamily, FNS_RandomCHOP, FNS_iopBrowser and FNS_ParentHierarchy had no pre-release step at all, so they kept the Version Ctrl page and its tables. They are now cleaned up like every other tool, and open on their first parameter page.

v3.2.39 2026-09-18

• AltSelect 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• AutoCombine 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• AutoRes 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• BorderlessTD 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3

• ExprHotStrings 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• GlobalOutSelect 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• HotkeyManager 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• Hub 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7
• HubRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• HydroHomie 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• MainMenuRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• Misc 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• NavbarRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• OpMenuMods 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• OpTemplates 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• OpToClipboard 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• OpenExt 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• Output 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• PaletteRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• ParOPDrop 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2

• QuickMarks 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• midiMapper 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• oscMapper 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1

Every tool now opens on its first parameter page instead of whichever page happened to be selected when it was built, and none of them carry the version-history apparatus from our own checkout any more. This is the same clean-up the scene changers and sequencers got last release, applied across the whole toolkit.

v3.2.38 2026-09-18

• SwitchTools 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 ships without the authoring apparatus it had been carrying: no Version Ctrl page, no version-history tables, and it opens on its first parameter page.

v3.2.37 2026-09-18

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.26 -> 3.2.27 the picker reports a catalog it could not fetch instead of promising a refresh, keeps an install plan's buttons in reach however long the list, and the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.12
• ColorUI 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 the buttons at the bottom of a dialog stay put while its contents scroll.
• Console 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 the buttons at the bottom of a dialog stay put while its contents scroll, so a long list cannot push them out of reach.
• Updater 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12 a first install on a clean machine can find the package catalog again. The updater looks for the bucket in three places: a mirror you set, the discovery document it has cached, and the endpoint built into it. The built-in one had gone missing, and a machine that had never run FNSTools has no cached document either, so there was nowhere left to look: the picker sat on "First run: fetching the package catalog" forever, because the fetch was refused before it began rather than failing. The endpoint is built in again, derived from the same pinned address discovery uses so the two cannot drift.

The tool picker says so when the catalog cannot be fetched, instead of promising that the page refreshes itself. The reason used to be written where only a developer reading the page source would find it. Its install plan also keeps Install and Close visible however many tools you pick.

v3.2.36 2026-09-17

• Console 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 Open Settings opens Settings. It used to hand the panel over with no tab in the address, and the page falls back to its first tab, so you landed on Install & remove. The handover also forces the page to load now: the panel could keep showing whatever it had, which is why the Hub's Console tab sometimes drew the tool picker with no tabs on it until you closed and reopened the hub.

v3.2.35 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.25 -> 3.2.26 the browser that draws the tool picker keeps rendering while its own window is open, so the picker cannot go dead under the reader

The tool picker no longer goes dead under an open window. The browser that draws it now treats its own open window as reason enough to keep rendering, so the page keeps taking clicks whatever else lets go, and the picker identifies its window by the address it served rather than by a port number that can move underneath it.

v3.2.34 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.24 -> 3.2.25 the tool picker stays alive while its window is open, so a dialog left on screen keeps taking clicks

The picker stays alive while its window is open. Reading the Installed dialog without touching the mouse used to count as an abandoned page: the picker server stopped, the browser render went dormant, and the dialog sat on screen taking no clicks with no way back. An open picker window now outranks silence, and the server stops when the window is closed.

v3.2.33 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.23 -> 3.2.24 the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.11
• Updater 3.2.10 -> 3.2.11 a gate call that never answers no longer wedges a download or a membership check. Every call to the licence gate carries a timeout, and a pending answer is watched: when it does not come the pass says so and carries on with the free packages, instead of sitting on "authorising..." or "checking your membership..." until TouchDesigner restarts.

v3.2.32 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.22 -> 3.2.23 the picker waits for a Patreon sign-in for as long as the browser takes, refreshes itself when the sign-in lands (including one that unlocks nothing), and carries a Reload picker button in every auth dialog

The picker waits for a Patreon sign-in properly. The browser round trip can take as long as it takes, the page notices when the sign-in lands and refreshes itself, and every wait carries a Reload picker button, since the panel inside TouchDesigner has no reload of its own. It also notices a sign-in that unlocks nothing, which used to look like nothing happening at all.

v3.2.31 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.21 -> 3.2.22 the picker offers Sign in with Patreon whenever the signed-in session includes no packages, says so in the account line, keeps I just pledged beside it, and lets an entitled account switch to a different one; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.10
• Updater 3.2.9 -> 3.2.10 a Patreon session that includes no packages now offers the way in. A fresh install can adopt the machine session another Function Store product signed in with, and where that session has no Patreon link the picker showed only Join and I just pledged. It now offers Sign in with Patreon in the welcome, the header and the Patreon dialog, says plainly that the session holds no packages, and lets a signed-in account switch to a different one without signing out first.

v3.2.30 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.20 -> 3.2.21 the picker offers "Add FNS tab to OP Create" while an FNS family operator is ticked, and the toolkit root's FNSTools page carries the same choice as a per-project toggle; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.9
• OpFamily 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1 no longer offered on its own in the picker. It installs together with the first FNS family operator and is removed with the last, so projects without family operators get no FNS tab and no family registry. The tab is also optional: Pick Tools shows "Add FNS tab to OP Create" while a family operator is ticked, and the new Remove Operator Family command turns it off later while your tools stay installed. The toolkit root's FNSTools page has an FNS Tab in OP Create toggle for the same choice, per project.
• Updater 3.2.8 -> 3.2.9 keeps no FNS family folder in a project where the family is not installed.

v3.2.29 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.19 -> 3.2.20 the picker's header and Patreon dialog offer Sign in again when the Patreon link is gone, and the toolkit root's page no longer carries Installer Parameters; the bootstrap carries updater 3.2.8
• Updater 3.2.7 -> 3.2.8 when Patreon reports that this install's link is no longer active, the picker offers Sign in again with Patreon, in the header and in the Patreon dialog, instead of a Check again that could never succeed. Tools the account still holds stay unlocked.

v3.2.28 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.18 -> 3.2.19 the picker reads the recommendations list through the installer instead of fetching it from the bucket, which TouchDesigner's browser blocked

The picker inside FNSTools.tox can show recommended tools by other creators again. It used to ask the download server for that list directly, which the browser inside TouchDesigner blocks; it now gets the list through the toolkit, which keeps a copy up to date in the background and drops a removed recommendation within minutes.

v3.2.27 2026-09-17

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.17 -> 3.2.18 the picker checks for a newer release when it opens and updates its list, and Install waits for a running store job instead of failing

The picker inside FNSTools.tox checks for a newer release every time it opens. A machine that already had a store from an earlier release used to keep showing that release's package list; now the list updates itself, or offers a reload if you had already started picking. Clicking Install while that check or a background download is still running now waits for it instead of failing.

v3.2.26 2026-09-17

• OpFamily 0.1.0 new. The FNS operator family, a tab in the OP Create dialog whose members are FNS tools mirrored from the store; built with TDFam. Stub, Replace Stubs, Update and Sync commands work without dialogs, and TDFam never stubs or replaces the toolkit's own copies.
• SwitchTools 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 joins the FNS operator family: listed on the FNS tab of the OP Create dialog once the store holds it.
• Updater 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 keeps the FNS operator family's folder in step with the store after every refresh and update, so the FNS tab lists exactly the members this machine holds.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox rebuilt at 3.2.17 the one-drop bootstrap carries updater 3.2.7 and the toolkit root with the FNS operator family

Released tools no longer carry Private Investigator markers. Every exported tox is scrubbed of the pi_suspect and FNS_externalized tags and of Vcoriginal, so a tool placed from the store or updated in place is never mistaken for a tracked development original by Private Investigator. Nothing else in the tools changes.

v3.2.25 2026-09-17

v3.2.24 2026-09-17

• SwitchTools 1.1.0 new, from the SceneChanger family: a companion for any Switch, Cross or multi-input operator that drives the index, colours the live input, cooks only the inputs in use and unloads the rest, and reorders, reverses, randomizes or aligns the inputs. Spawns into the network you are working in.
• Updater 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 understands a package with tier variants (a Pro build beside the Base build): it fetches and installs the highest build your account holds, offers the swap upward when your tier grows, keeps an installed Pro build as it is if your tier drops, and counts every build in the store.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.16 -> 3.2.17 the picker shows a package's Pro build on its own row and the installer lands the build your account holds

v3.2.23 2026-09-17

v3.2.22 2026-09-17

• Updater 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5 a new toggle, Keep the Whole Release in the Store (on by default): after an install or an update pass the rest of the release is downloaded into the store, about 12 MB, so Pick Tools works offline afterwards and everything the store can offer is already on the machine. Off: only what you install is fetched.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.15 -> 3.2.16 the picker shows TDXMap's trial and never ticks a family product for you; an install ends by filling the store

TDXMap is no longer counted among the free tools. The picker, the website and its page now say what it is: a 14-day trial, then a Base or Pro licence; it still installs for everyone from the picker.

v3.2.21 2026-09-16

• Console 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6 hover text in the console and the tool picker now shows in TouchDesigner. The browser inside TouchDesigner never drew the standard tooltips, so a card whose description was cut short had no way to show the rest; every hover text is now drawn by the page itself, with the full description on a card.
• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.14 -> 3.2.15 the tool picker inside the installer draws its own hover text too

v3.2.20 2026-09-16

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.13 -> 3.2.14

A new toggle on the toolkit root, Always Set Up Like Last Time: with it on, dropping FNSTools.tox into a new project installs the tools of the project you saved last with nothing to click, no picker and no window, progress in the Textport. It roams with your settings, so it applies to every new project on the machine.

v3.2.19 2026-09-16

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.12 -> 3.2.13

A toolkit that lands somewhere you were not looking is now shown to you. After a drop into a network inside a component, and after an install pasted into the Textport, it is placed above the topmost operator at the top of the project, the network editor goes there, and the toolkit is selected.

v3.2.18 2026-09-16

• FNSTools.tox and FNS_Installer.tox 3.2.11 -> 3.2.12

Dropping FNSTools.tox into a network inside a component moves the toolkit to the top of the project as before, and now takes the network editor there with it and selects the toolkit, so it is easy to find. The questionnaire's result names its Patreon tools once, and its count matches what it ticks.

v3.2.17 2026-09-16

• Updater 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 a download that gets no response ends with an error you can retry. On a slow or stalled connection the store refresh could wait forever, which is how a fresh install on a Mac never finished.

The tool picker now leads with what is free, and names the Patreon tools with the tier they unlock at. Recommended, Everything and the other starting points leave out a Patreon tool the account cannot install yet, ticking one by hand explains how it unlocks and offers sign-in, and an install never waits on a Patreon tool the account does not include. Closing the install dialog now closes it.

v3.2.16 2026-09-16

• Updater 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 the update check when a project opens and the what's-new prompt after an update now run. Both were scheduled in a way that never reached the updater, so neither had been running.

A fresh install from the website opens the tool picker again. Dropping FNSTools.tox into a new project had shown an empty browser and installed nothing, so the toolkit arrived without its Hub or anything else.

v3.2.15 2026-09-15

• CommandPalette 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 commands from a tool with several copies read "label · copy", so identical commands are no longer indistinguishable. A preset over such a tool lists once per copy, or can be pinned to one copy; favourites still apply to the command on every copy.
• CommandRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 tools that live as several copies can label each copy. An owner that promotes FnsInstance() sends that label with every command, and FnsToolName() keeps one public tool name when the copies have different COMP names, so favourites, overrides and presets reach every copy. When several packages declare the same canonical id, every copy of the winning tool now stays listed.

v3.2.14 2026-09-14

• AutoCombine 3.2.2 the same fix as AutoRes; an Alt-drop no longer rewrites Combine Input and Operand on a backlog of operators that appeared elsewhere in the network.
• AutoRes 3.2.2 an Alt-drop touches only the operator you dropped. The watcher used to snapshot the whole subtree of the open network but only re-checked on direct child changes, so anything that appeared deeper in between (a reloaded package, a replicator) was reported as new at the next drop and had its resolution rewritten too.

v3.2.13 2026-09-14

• Updater 3.2.2 the popup with release notes after an update can be switched off with the new Show Notes After Update toggle; the choice roams with your settings.

v3.2.12 2026-09-14

• AltSelect 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• AutoCombine 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• AutoRes 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• BorderlessTD 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• ColorUI 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• CommandPalette 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
• CustomParTools 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• ExprHotStrings 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• GlobalVolControl 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• HotkeyManager 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• Hub 3.2.5 -> 3.2.6
• HydroHomie 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• Misc 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• OpMenuMods 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• OpTemplates 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• OpToClipboard 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• OpenExt 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• Output 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• ParOPDrop 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• ParRandomizer 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• QuickCollapse 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• QuickPane 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• QuickTime 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• ResetPLS 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• SetSmoothness 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• SwapOps 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• SwitchOPs 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• Updater 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• VSCodeTools 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2
• QuickMarks 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• midiMapper 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1

Most tools are lighter inside: they drop a set of unused internal helpers (NoNode and its callback operators) and register their quick-launch commands themselves. Nothing changes in how any tool works or which commands it offers.

v3.2.11 2026-09-14

• BorderlessTD 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 The project name in the menu bar now shows the unsaved-changes asterisk in a normal window too, and reads it from this project's own window when several TouchDesigner instances are open.
• CommandPalette 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 Typing is much faster: each keystroke ranks the whole catalogue in tens of milliseconds, where it used to take up to half a second. Results and their order are unchanged.
• OpMenuMods 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• OpTemplates 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• OpToClipboard 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 With the mouse over a parameter, the copy shortcut copies a reference to that parameter (.par.tx), or to the whole group when the mouse is over a row's name (.parGroup.t). The pasted @ resolves to the operator path as before.
• PaneTypeRegistry 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
• SearchPalette 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 With Latest Only on, numbered variants of a component (tool, tool1, tool2) now collapse only when they sit in the same folder. A numbered component in another folder, such as thdColor1 next to a thdColor saved elsewhere, is listed again. The same name saved in two folders still shows once. The search field is now a Text COMP, so Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right jump by word as in any other text field, and Ctrl+Shift+F clears the field before focusing it.
• PasteFromClipboard 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 Image files copied in Explorer now paste too, one operator per file. File In copies each file into the Save Folder by default; turn off the new Copy Pasted Files toggle to read the originals where they are. Script TOP and Annotate decode the file directly.

v3.2.10 2026-09-14

• OpMenuRegistry 3.2.1 a tool installed into a running session gets its OP Create dialog contributions at once. Registering only rebuilt the right-click menu when the dialog already existed, so OpMenuMods' search words and IO filter, and OpTemplates' markers, only appeared after a restart.

v3.2.9 2026-09-14

• Hub 3.2.5 the window is wider, 1040 by 800, so the picker's toolbar with its action, and the category chips with Expand and Collapse, each stay on one line.

Inside the Hub the picker keeps its chip row at every width instead of switching to the site's side rail, which spent a column on seven chips and left it empty below them.

v3.2.8 2026-09-13

• Console 3.2.5

Inside the Hub the install action sits at the top: the selection count and the Review install button take the spot the docs link had, the supporter status and Check again fold into the Plus line, and the sticky footer is gone.

v3.2.7 2026-09-13

• Hub 3.2.4 no black band above the tabs on a fresh install (the tab bar's height change left the layout half updated), and the Console tab is sized by the Hub itself when it shows, so the page renders at the tab's size on every install, not only where the Hub was already there.

The word "Plus" is gone. Tools that need a membership are marked with the lowest Patreon tier that unlocks them, Patreon:Base, Patreon:Pro or Patreon:Coaching, in the picker and on the website, and licence keys are called Gumroad licence keys. The sign-in button reads Sign in with Patreon. The explainer page moved to functionstore.tools/patreon/, and the old /plus/ address redirects there.

v3.2.6 2026-09-13

• Console 3.2.4 the Install & remove tab's explanatory paragraph is one sentence, and a tab is always loaded fresh, never from the browser's cache, so an updated picker shows up at once.
• Hub 3.2.3 the window is taller, 900 by 800, so the console and the configurators get the room they need.

The install plan reads as what will happen: how many tools install and with how much core, each as a chip by its title, removals and problems called out, what is already in the project folded into one line.

The Hub's Console tab renders at its own size. The toolkit's browser panel was a fixed 1280 by 720 page scaled down into the tab, which made the text small and left black bands above and below; it now takes the size of the area that shows it.

The picker is calmer inside TouchDesigner: a selected tool shows as a filled checkbox on a lifted card instead of a yellow border on every card, the Plus strip is one quiet line with the explanation as a tooltip, the category pitches step back, the category rail steps aside (the section headers carry the counts), the footer is one short line with one action, unlocked Plus chips are outlined instead of filled, the duplicate Show only Plus link is gone (the toolbar button does that), and Copy list is gone everywhere (the paste script and Download selection.json cover it).

v3.2.5 2026-09-13

• Console 3.2.3 the Install & remove tab passes the picker's "open in browser" requests through, so docs links open your browser from inside the Hub.

Docs links in the picker work inside TouchDesigner: every external link, including each tool in the install report (click a tool to read its docs), opens your system browser instead of vanishing into a blocked popup.

v3.2.4 2026-09-13

An install never removes the toolkit root's own settings host again. It shares its name with the standalone FNS_ConfigHost package, and the picker's apply pass read it as an unchecked tool: a fresh install reported "removed FNS_ConfigHost" and that project lost its roaming root settings and its last-install record.

"Set up like last time" is the first card on a first run and installs on that one click; there is no review step for a list you already chose in a project you saved. The install report is a report now: the number of tools installed up front, each tool as a chip by its title, removals struck through and failures marked, core folded into the label.

v3.2.3 2026-09-12

• Console 3.2.2 the console page tells its server it is still in use while you are at it, so the Hub's Console tab no longer goes dead after ten quiet minutes.
• Hub 3.2.2 the Hub window opens centred on the display the cursor is on, instead of the bottom-left corner of display 0 (which on a multi-monitor desk was a different screen from the one you were working on).

A pasted install now says in the Textport what it did and what it is opening, waits for the FNS console to come up before handing over, and says so when it opens the picker instead.

The picker's Close button no longer dies a minute after an install: the installer's server now stops only after the page has gone quiet (the page reports itself in use while you are at it), and it releases the browser's render only when the browser still shows the picker, never a hold the console owns.

"Set up like last time" works: a fresh bootstrap, dropped or pasted, offers the tools your last saved project installed, pre-checked and never applied on its own. It had not fired since the toolkit root started shipping its own settings host, which the first-run test mistook for an installed tool.

v3.2.2 2026-09-12

• Console 3.2.1 Install & remove is the first tab, and the tab a console opened without a named tab shows.
• Hub 3.2.1 showing the Console tab no longer raises "Cannot execute Javascript" on a fresh install: the tab reloads the page only when the browser's render is already live, and a render that switches on loads the page by itself.

A pasted install script now lands in the FNS console's Install & remove tab (in the Hub when the Hub is installed) once the install has finished, also when nothing but the bootstrapper was picked; a paste with Plus picks waiting still opens the sign-in picker instead. The "Set up like last time" offer appears on a root that holds core and no tools, so a pasted install sees it too.

v3.2.1 2026-09-11

• CommandPalette 3.2.1 typed queries now match in tiers (exact, prefix, word start, substring, initials, typo, subsequence), so a typo like "opne ext" or "nosie" still finds its command, abbreviations no longer fill the list with subsequence noise, a title hit outranks the same hit in a category, and "randomise" finds Randomize. Nothing that matched before ranks differently: the looser tiers only fill below the strict ones.
• CustomParTools 3.2.1 dropping an operator on the path bar with Ctrl+Alt promotes it as an internal operator again (the route had been broken since 3.2.0), and the root cell is a target now, so a shortcut can be added to / as well.
• ParentHierarchy 3.2.1 no longer draws a button in the pane bar. The doc always said it adds none; the button was a leftover of the split from iopBrowser and did nothing when pressed. The Alt-hover on the path is unchanged.
• SearchPalette 3.2.1 the fuzzy fallback that ran when nothing matched literally now tolerates typos ("nosie", "fedback", "kinnect"), spellings either side of the Atlantic ("randomise", "colour") and initials ("mfo"), ranked above the old subsequence reading; the strict search, wildcards, exclusions and folder tokens are unchanged.
• iopBrowser 3.2.1 drop an operator on its pane-bar button to add it as an internal operator shortcut of the network you are in, the root included.

The picker gains a Plus-only filter, and says what a Plus pick means where

it would otherwise surprise: on the Plus line, on the questionnaire's

result (with a Leave Plus out button), and in the paste-script dialog.

The picker's categories and the questionnaire's fits were re-read from each

tool's documentation and parameters: five tools moved category (CommandKit

to Developer, HydroHomie to Workflow, OpToClipboard and SetSmoothness to

Parameters, PreviewPanel to Surfaces), six

descriptions were corrected, and the Command, Palette and Timeline

registries are core packages now, as the catalog always said.

Every tool in the toolkit now reports the same version, 3.2.0. Up to now each

package carried its own number, so a catalogue where one tool read 3.0.4 and its

neighbour read 0.1.3 told you nothing about which release they came from. From

here the version is the release: if two tools disagree, one of them is behind.

Tools that gained nothing new in this release still move to 3.2.0, and that is

the point of the change, so nothing you install is left on a number that has to

be looked up.

FNS_Navbar has been dissolved into the tools it carried, so each one installs on

its own. Nothing is lost: everything that was on the pane bar is still there,

published by a smaller package.

network you are in, from a popup opened off the pane bar. The browser exists once

and every pane's button calls into it, so the bar carries 52 operators per pane

instead of the 959 the old combined widget copied into each one.

see its shortcuts, internal operators and now its extensions too; hover an

extension to expand the API TouchDesigner promotes from it, and click any row to

copy a reference you can paste, down to ext.MyExt.MyMethod(args). Adds no button

of its own. One popup serves every pane, so the bar carries 112 operators per

pane rather than the 959 the old combined widget copied into each one.

path-cell injection and drag-drop hijack that used to live in FNS_Navbar. Install

it under the new name to keep getting updates; the old package stays where it is

and stops being offered. A new Modules page switches each of the nine

sub-modules on or off on its own, so you can keep the parts you use and drop the

rest. Turning one off withdraws the surface it owns rather than leaving a dead

control behind: the two pane-bar widgets unregister and disappear from every bar,

and the button itself leaves the navbar and the toolbar once every action it

fronts is off.

or Right on a method fills the box so you can type arguments, and Enter again

runs it; Tab only ever completes. ~ext. lists the extensions on the COMP you are

on and ~ext.MyExt. narrows to one of them, listing everything reachable through

ext.MyExt rather than only what is promoted, so the lowercase half of an

extension is callable too. The accessors CustomParHelper generates for each

parameter are left out of that list, which on a big tool is the difference

between fifty rows and a thousand.

Every tool now installs under an FNS_ name. The prefix was already on about half

the toolkit and missing from the rest, which made the install list read like two

different products. Nothing about a tool changed in the renaming, but a rename is

a new package: your installed copies keep working and stop being offered updates,

so reinstall the ones you use under their new names. Four keep their old names on

purpose: PasteFromClipboard, QuickMarks, midiMapper and oscMapper.

Renamed with a new base name, so they read differently in the list: MISC is now

FNS_Misc, OUTPUT is FNS_Output, ResetPLS1 is FNS_ResetPLS, TDX_SearchPalette is

FNS_SearchPalette, FNS_OpMenu is FNS_OpMenuMods, and paste_from_clipboard is

PasteFromClipboard. Everything else simply gained the prefix.

The on/off parameter is called Active everywhere now. Most of the toolkit already

used it, which is also TouchDesigner's own name for that switch, so the five

tools that said Enable have been brought in line: FNS_HydroHomie,

FNS_BorderlessTD, FNS_Updater, FNS_ResetPLS and FNS_CustomParTools. A renamed

parameter loses its stored setting once, so those five come back at their

defaults, which is on.

default, on, once.

They come back at their defaults, on, once.

default, on, once.

Activeall. Install it under the new name to keep getting updates.

Enable..., matching the rest of the toolkit.

the toolbar background widget and the command that opens the toolbar

configurator. Install it under the new name to keep getting updates.

FNS_Toolbar: retired. The toolbar surface itself has been built by

FNS_ToolbarRegistry for a while, so the package had shrunk to a background

widget and one command; both moved to FNS_Misc rather than staying behind a

package of their own.

The install picker now ranks minor tools last. A handful of packages are small

conveniences rather than things you go looking for, and they were taking the

same space and the same weight as everything else. Those now sort to the end of

their own category and draw in a denser, lighter card, so a category reads as

the tools you came for plus a short footnote. Nothing is hidden and nothing

moves out of its category; they are still there and still tickable.

stock operator type. Create an operator with the alternatives shortcut held

(alt ctrl by default, on the registry's new Alternatives page) and every

alternative any installed tool has declared for that type is offered: one is

placed straight away, several open a picker. What used to be OpTemplates' own

engine, watching for new operators and swapping in a template with its wiring

restored, is now the registry's, and OpTemplates is its first contributor. A

tool that is only in your store, downloaded but not in the project, is offered

too, below a divider, and placed from disk as one node; nothing is installed by

that. In the operator list, ' >>>' marks a type with an alternative in the

project and ' >>' one whose only alternatives are in the store. A tool that

stands in for several types declares its alternative once, under one key that

lists the types separated by spaces. The registry hosts inside tools no longer

carry their own copy of the shortcut, so the hotkey manager lists it once. Fixed before release: the ' >>>' mark

was computed but never applied by the dialog's node table, a pane switch was

read as a batch of new operators, an alternative could be offered inside

its own source, and a placed copy of a tool registered itself as one more

alternative. A placed chain lands with its first operator exactly where you

clicked and the rest to the right, wired as in the library even when the

paste had to rename an operator.

mark per row, so ' >>>' and ' >>' show again for every contributor.

global (one .tox in your user palette, as before), project (a component at

the network root that saves with the .toe and survives toolkit updates), or

follow the toolkit's Config Scope, the default. A missing library is created

from the set loaded at that moment; switching from project to global asks

whether to push the project set, adopt the global one or stay; Push To

Global writes the active set to the palette file behind a prompt. The

External Templates Sync toggle and the Advanced mode are retired, and a

component Advanced pointed at is adopted as the project library. The

library is also published through the op-menu registry now, which owns the

watcher, the shortcut and the placement; nothing about the templates

themselves changed. Also fixed a long-standing leak: placing a

template that is a COMP left TEMPLATE_ROOT/IN/OUT tags on the library's own

children, and a stale TEMPLATE_OUT is what the next placement wires the

outputs to. Forty-six library operators carried them; the library was cleaned

and the engine now cleans every operator it tags. The shortcut now lives on

FNS_OpMenuRegistry's Alternatives page; a Keys value you had customised is

carried over there on first start, and Keys then mirrors it.

Registries keep every registration across a global takeover. When a newer

registry replaces the live one, the live entry table wins for every name it

holds, and a master or host that is not the global no longer keeps a parallel

table of its own. Before this, an update to the Hub or Palette registry could

bring back a tool's stale tab order or visibility from the master's copy.

(Ship this release with the [All] scope: the shared RegistryBase changed, and

every registry master and every host carries an embedded copy, so a [Bumped]

release would mix the new base with the old one on installed machines.)

same frame the selection changes.

(the T3D package's bypass shortcut inside every T3D operator, 25 of them)

list as one row with a count, rebind and reset together, and no longer show

as conflicts with each other. A status readout or a stored list whose name

happens to contain "key" (TimelineTools' Keyframer status, CommandPalette's

favourites) is no longer listed as a binding. A modifier-only binding that

another tool also holds (alt, held by four tools for four different gestures)

is marked shared in a quiet yellow instead of red or nothing.

The content CMS can now declare which operator types a package is an

alternative for, on a foreign package or on a live package that carries no

op-menu host; a package with a host keeps deriving the list from its own

callbacks, and a curated list beside a host is reported at preflight.

now lands the component itself, not the bundle Derivative ships it in (a

wrapper holding the component, its icon and its help text), and hands it to

your mouse to place, exactly like a new operator from the OP Create dialog. A

row can also be pressed and dragged into a network, the Palette browser's own

gesture.

The picker on /get and in the installer folds into category sections:

the first screen is the eight categories with their pitch and counts, a

section opens on click, on a filter match or when a guided-setup preset

selects into it, and a side rail on wide screens jumps and opens. Cards

lost their surface chips (the surfaces stay searchable and ride the

tooltip) and clamp their description to two lines. The installer keeps

the raw view with every section open.

a folder you choose, grouped by the project that made them, with the disk space

they take and an estimate of the hours of work they hold; send the ones you are

finished with to the recycle bin, or delete them outright. Keep Last protects

the newest saves in every folder, and nothing is scanned until you open the tab.

label, style, page, help, menu labels and clamped range beside its value, so a

tool that edits the file with no TouchDesigner session running can show the

same controls the settings page shows and search on more than a parameter name.

The values themselves are unchanged and are still the only thing read back in;

the description beside them is presentation, and a stale one is harmless.

longer stalls the frame: the project is scanned once instead of twice, and the

out operators inside each shortcut are collected by a few lines of Python

instead of a finder stamped per shortcut, which also makes the package 262

operators smaller. The Limit Max Depth and Max Depth settings now actually

limit the scan, and changing them no longer raises an error. The header row

has a Refresh button; refreshing by clicking the corner of the list still works.

Guided setup gains "Find my set": a few questions about how you work,

then a recommended selection with the reason beside each tool, editable

before it is applied. The questions and each tool's fit are catalog

content.

drawn by the tool itself, instead of opening a browser page. That code area is

also a button: click it and the page opens in a browser on this machine,

whether or not a code is showing. With LAN access off there is no code to

scan, so the square reads "Click to open here" and the address sits beside it,

which is the way into a remote that is serving only to this machine; the

switch to allow LAN access is in the same window. The toolbar button now says

which state it is in: struck through when it is not serving, a monitor when it

serves this machine only, and a phone with waves once a phone can reach it. It

still lights while serving. Drag that button into a network and it drops a

Select CHOP of the touch channels, already pointed at the tool. On the phone,

Control is the first tab; a parameter group such as a position or a colour is

one row of editable number fields, and opens into one slider per component,

each following the other; sliders have a thumb you can actually grab and no

longer fight the page's scrolling. Drop a component on the button to make it

the one the phone controls, or hold Alt while dropping to add it to the

component list instead. Dropping a parameter exposes the component it belongs

to. Two fixes: toggling Active could re-open the pairing window by itself, and

so could dragging off the button. The phone page now has a component browser:

an author walks the project one level at a time, exposes a component with one

tap, and removes one with the cross beside its name. And there are two links.

The full link reaches everything; the client link, a second code minted beside

it, opens only the exposed controls, with no session actions and no browsing,

and the server refuses those routes on it, where the page only hides them.

Pair the Client Link switches the pairing window and its QR code between the

two, Touch on Client Link decides whether that link gets the touch pad,

Regenerate Token now renews both codes, and the WebSocket asks for the token

on its first frame, so a neighbour on the network cannot push touches into a

rig by guessing the port.

authoring bookkeeping (Version Ctrl pages and tables) and the dev

project's paths in their FNS_About. The strip also writes the About

page's Owner as an expression that resolves wherever the tool lands.

Every tool: the shared ExtUtils base pointed its parameter watcher at an

absolute path into the dev project, so an install without CustomParTools

raised an error on every tool carrying one and could miss parameter

changes. It now resolves to the tool it sits in. Found on the first fresh

install of the beta.

Type to run any tool's commands, navigate the network with / . and .., walk parameters, keep favourites and history, and curate what shows from the Hub's Commands tab. Favourites and hidden commands are shared with the TDX launcher.
• CommandRegistry 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2 New as a store package. The registry the palette and the TDX launcher both read, shipped here for installs without the launcher, with TouchDesigner's own built-in commands inside it. The launcher carries the same artifact, so both loaded together resolve to one set.

change to the shared ExtUtils base. If something wedges, especially a

download that sits at "0 done, 1 to go", leave it as it is and report

it with the Textport contents.

Listings show the public name now: the package FNS_BeatMod appears as

BeatMod in the picker, the console and the site. Shortcuts, file names

and COMP names keep the prefix.

Every tool: the shared ExtUtils base heals its watchers when a watched

operator is renamed or moved, and a pasted or copied tool initialises

its extension on its own instead of waiting for something to cook it.

Stub generation left ExtUtils, which is about 1150 fewer operators in a

full install. Every quick-launch command carries help text and says

what it acts on.

TDXMap: Mirrored from its own release at version 1.2.0. MIDI controller mapping with a live web UI. It updates itself; the toolkit updater reports it as self-managed and leaves it alone.

v3.0.9 2026-08-30

v3.0.8 2026-08-30

• Updater 3.0.4 -> 3.0.5

Downloads can no longer damage the store: artifacts land in a staging

file and only replace the store copy after their checksum passes, so a

failed or refused fetch leaves the previous good bytes untouched. A

gated download refused by the gate now says so honestly (instead of

reading as a checksum failure) and drops the stale download token, so

the next attempt asks for a fresh one.

The picker now finishes what the /get page started: if you copied an

install with a Plus tool checked, the pick completes on its own the

moment your account covers it -- whether you were already signed in on

this machine or sign in when prompted. A short countdown lets you

cancel; anything your tier does not cover stays visible with its

honest label instead of installing.

Signing in anywhere on the machine now counts everywhere: a session

that existed before shared sign-in shipped is published for other

Function Store products to adopt the first time it is read.

v3.0.7 2026-08-30

• Updater 3.0.3 -> 3.0.4 one sign-in now serves the whole machine. Signing in to

any FNS product (the toolkit, the TDX launcher) shares the session --

clicking Sign in when the machine is already signed in adopts it

instantly with no browser trip, and signing out anywhere signs the

machine out everywhere. Entitlement refusals, downloads and rechecks

are unchanged.

v3.0.6 2026-08-29

• Console 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2 the console panel renders reliably -- opening it now holds

the shared browser's render on while its server lives, instead of the

render optimizations switching it off one frame later.

The install rails ride along fixed: the one-line installer lands the

toolkit at the project root, opens the picker by itself when a Plus

tool was picked, Pick Tools keeps its panel rendered, and Open

Settings reports what it actually did.

v3.0.5 2026-08-29

• Updater 3.0.2 -> 3.0.3 sign-in now completes end to end -- the loopback listener

reads its parameters, gate responses route to their handlers, and

requests actually carry their bearer token. Refusals name the tier a

package unlocks at (and the lifetime key where one exists), a dead

session clears itself and re-offers the way back in, a Patreon outage

keeps a supporter entitled, and the picker narrates sign-in and

recheck outcomes and refreshes itself.

Documentation, and the settings page you could not reach.

Every package's docs were checked against what its code actually does

rather than what the old wiki said. Twenty-six were wrong: hotkeys that

had drifted to different modifiers, features nobody had written down,

paths still naming the pre-3.0 layout, and a few descriptions that

described the wrong behaviour entirely. ClearPars turned out to have

merged into CustomParTools during the redesign and is gone as a separate

package; its docs live there now.

FNS_ConfigRegistry ships a settings page -- every installed tool's

parameters on one page in your browser, served from inside TouchDesigner

on 127.0.0.1 and shut down again when you stop looking at it. It has been

in the code for a while, unreachable: the web server op it looks for was

never created. It builds itself on demand now, and the toolkit root grew

an Open Settings parameter to reach it, alongside Pick Tools and Open

Installer.

The one-drop bundle is now built as a copy of the development root with

the developer-only parts removed, rather than assembled separately, so the

two cannot drift apart in what they offer at the top level.

server that serves it is created on demand instead of being expected to

already exist, and a promoted copy missing the page pulls it from the

master rather than failing.

Unreleased

• QuickParCustom folded into CustomParTools as a child, joining ClearPars, QuickExt, QuickParent and iopPromoter. It always depended on CustomParTools (it promoted through the FNS_CPP global), so on its own its hotkeys could not promote. Your settings carry over -- the config section keeps its name -- and the Active toggle still turns it off. Two notes: a custom rebinding of its hotkeys resets to default once, and the QuickParCustom#toggleactive command is now CustomParTools/QuickParCustom#toggleactive.
• QuickParCustom shift+alt+x (promote with an Expression) is now a real, listed hotkey. It was a derived expression FNS_HotkeyManager could not see, so it was never rebindable and never checked for conflicts.
• MY_HOTKEYS retired. Its four stock-TouchDesigner shortcuts (open parameters / open the COMP editor, for the selected operator or the current network's COMP) and their four quick-launch commands moved into CustomParTools; ctrl+shift+f moved into TDX_SearchPalette, and ctrl+0 had already moved into ResetPLS1. Nothing was lost, but the four command ids are now owned by CustomParTools, so launcher history and presets keyed on MY_HOTKEYS#<id> need re-pointing once.
• CustomParTools gains those four shortcuts, as hotkeys and as palette commands sharing one implementation.
• Hub 0.2.0 New core package: the FNS button in the main-menu bar is now the one stop shop. Left-click opens a window with the Toolbar, Navbar, MainMenu and OpMenu configurators as tabs plus the console and the larger tool UIs; right-click jumps to any of them; drop a panel COMP on the button to register it into a surface. Two tab-bar styles (wrapping rows, or the classic single strip), drag to reorder, no close buttons (hidden tabs come back from the right-click menu). Tab order and the last tab roam with your settings. The OpMenu tab is new: reorder what tools contribute to the OP Create dialog, or switch a contribution off without uninstalling its tool.
• HubRegistry 0.1.0 New core registry behind the hub's tab bar: any tool can contribute a native panel, a viewer or a parameter page as a tab by carrying a host, and it appears the moment the tool exists.
• FNS_Toolbar 1.1.0 The Configurator moved into the hub; the gear button is gone from the bar. Drop-to-register, which had silently stopped working after the v3 rename, works again from the FNS button.
• FNS_Navbar 1.1.0 Same: the Configurator is the hub's Navbar tab, no gear on the pane bars.
• FNS_MainMenu Removed. It carried nothing but the Main Menu configurator, which is the hub's MainMenu tab now; its quick-launch command moved to FNS_Hub.
• Console 0.2.0 Opens inside the hub's Console tab when the hub is installed (the root's web browser viewer is the fallback); its browser only renders while that tab is shown.
• tools_ui Removed. The Fx toolbar panel's tabs live in FNS_Hub now, with the same right-click-for-parameters gesture and drag-to-reorder; the hub's tab order and last tab roam with your settings as before.
• oscMapper 1.1.0, ExprHotStrings 1.2.0, GlobalOutSelect 1.1.0, FNS_OpMenu 1.1.0, midiMapper 1.1.0, ColorUI 1.2.0 Each carries an FNS_Hub tab host instead of the old UI Tab parameters; the tab appears the moment the tool is installed, and Shown in Hub on the tool's Registry page is the new way to hide it. ColorUI's palette editor renders while its hub tab is shown and goes dark the moment you leave it, so the browser never runs for nobody.

v3.0.1 2026-08-16

• ColorUI 1.0.2 Its tab in the tools panel is now the palette editor itself, with families, colours and search inline, instead of a button that opened a parameter window.
• ExprHotStrings 1.1.1 Contributes its tools panel tab through the new UI Tab parameters, so the tab travels with the package and can be reordered or hidden.
• FNS_OpMenu 1.0.3 Carries the search-keywords tab in the tools panel now. It used to be loose glue sitting in the toolkit root that no package owned, which meant it simply went missing unless you had installed everything.
• Updater 1.0.10 Fixed a dead reference to a component that left the toolkit long ago, which made one node inside the updater throw an error on every cook.
• GlobalOutSelect 1.0.1 Contributes its tools panel tab through the new UI Tab parameters, and still refreshes itself whenever the tab is shown.
• MY_HOTKEYS 1.0.1 The palette search hotkey now checks that TDX_SearchPalette is actually installed rather than doing nothing when it is not.
• TDX_SearchPalette 1.1.0 New package, vendored from Yea Chen's TD-SearchPalette: a search field inside TouchDesigner's palette browser. Matching is case-insensitive and looks anywhere in the name rather than only at the start, several words narrow the result together, a word containing a slash matches the palette folder instead (gen/ noise), and numbered copies of one component collapse to the most recently modified. The last two are toggles on the package, and ctrl+shift+f jumps straight to the field when MY_HOTKEYS is installed.
• midiMapper 1.0.1 Contributes its tools panel tab through the new UI Tab parameters, so the tab travels with the package and can be reordered or hidden.
• oscMapper 1.0.1 Contributes its tools panel tab through the new UI Tab parameters, so the tab travels with the package and can be reordered or hidden.
• tools_ui 1.1.0 The tabbed panel builds itself from the tools you actually have installed instead of a fixed list, so a partial install no longer shows tabs that lead nowhere, and the panel refreshes itself on start and every time it opens. Drag the tabs to reorder them, close one with its X to hide it (turn it back on from that tool's own UI Tab parameters), and both the order and the tab you were last on come back with your settings.

Installing from the website is now one line. Pick the tools you want on

the site, press Copy install script, and paste the single line into the

Textport: it fetches the bootstrap and your selection straight from this

release, checks every hash before writing anything to disk, and installs.

Partial installs are the theme of this drop. Tools that reach for each

other now look first and stay quiet when the other side is absent, so a

subset behaves like a deliberate configuration rather than a broken one.

Packages have also stopped assuming the toolkit root is there at all --

each one resolves through its own global shortcut, so a single dropped

tox works standalone.

Every package page was re-read against the components themselves.

Twenty-six of forty-six had something stale -- paths left over from the

rename, wrong key combinations, descriptions of how things worked before

the redesign -- and the worst of them were rewritten outright. ClearPars

lost its own page, because it lives inside CustomParTools now.

Downloads are a little leaner too: artifacts had been carrying log data

baked in from an old project, and that no longer rides along.

FNSTools 3.0 -- the toolkit takes its name, and core becomes the raw

registries. The whole toolkit is renamed FNSTools; the six registry

masters (FNS_ConfigRegistry, FNS_ToolbarRegistry, FNS_NavbarRegistry,

FNS_MainMenuRegistry, FNS_OpMenuRegistry, FNS_PaneTypeRegistry) ship as

their own core packages, promoted to /sys under those names -- raw,

standalone and cloneable, so the toolkit can be extended with the same

machinery it is built on. FNS_Updater (renamed from UPDATER) is the one

non-registry core. The former surface packages -- toolbar, navbar,

main-menu and OP-menu extras -- are ordinary optional tools now, and a

tool's requirements are exactly the registries it hosts. Full design

record: docs/FNSToolsRedesign.md. No migration from pre-3.0 installs;

this is the first public shape of the toolkit.

v2.12.19 2026-08-15

• UPDATER 1.0.8 -> 1.0.9 RefreshStore(names) scopes the artifact fetch -- a list fetches just those packages, an empty list is manifest-only, None still mirrors the whole release.

The picker downloads only what you pick. A lightweight bootstrap no

longer mirrors the whole release before showing the catalog: the page

appears after a manifest-only fetch (seconds), the plan says how many MB

your selection needs, and install fetches exactly those packages with

live progress. The full-mirror Refresh Store pulse remains for offline

installs and shared bindings.

v2.12.18 2026-08-15

• UPDATER 1.0.7 -> 1.0.8 dropped the dangling internal-op shortcuts to TDAsyncIO and github_remote (legacy of the pre-bucket update flow) that flagged every fresh drop with invalid-path warnings.

The bootstrap installer now targets whatever container it ships in --

TD numbers a second drop into an occupied project, and matching the

parent by literal name sent that installer at the other copy's root.

The plan status also names an existing toolkit root when installing

somewhere else.

v2.12.17 2026-08-15

• FNS_Config 1.1.2
• FNS_MainMenu 1.0.1
• FNS_Navbar 1.0.0 -> 1.0.3 the drag-drop hijack guards against panenav not existing yet on first load into a bare project, retrying briefly instead of erroring the install.
• FNS_OpMenu 1.0.0 -> 1.0.2
• FNS_Toolbar 1.0.3 -> 1.0.5
• UPDATER 1.0.3 -> 1.0.7 restored ShowChangelogAfterUpdate (execute1 still called it; it was dropped in the bucket rework) -- the flag is set by a successful update pass and the notes come from the store manifest, shown once on the next open.

Registry cores: the /sys global no longer inherits the master's clone

binding at promotion -- the global owns itself, so an update destroying

and reloading the in-project master cannot dangle it.

v2.12.16 2026-08-14

• PaneTypeRegistry 1.0.0 now ships as a core package -- the panebar pane-type registry master, previously only distributed with PreviewPanel, joins the toolkit so tools can host into it and requires can point at it. The package IS the master (no FNS_ wrapper), keeping the standalone identity it already has.

v2.12.15 2026-08-14

• UPDATER 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 after an update pass, packages still flagging errors get one recook against the settled network. Clears the stale "operator has been deleted" flags left on early-updated packages whose registry master was replaced later in the same pass.

v2.12.14 2026-08-14

• UPDATER 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 embedded packages now update on the installer's own rail -- destroy the old COMP and loadTox the store artifact live -- instead of grafting a staged copy in with replaceOp. The graft copy/destroys extension-bearing COMPs, which wedged or crashed TD during multi-package passes; destroy+loadTox is the path every install has always taken. Self-update follows the same pattern. Settings are unaffected (they live in the palette config JSON and re-apply on re-register).

v2.12.13 2026-08-14

• UPDATER 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 the first package replacement of an update pass now runs on the main thread like the rest, instead of inline on the downloader's callback thread. Off-main replacement wedged TD inside registry surface injection (navbar widget copy) with unbounded memory growth when updates were driven headlessly.

v2.12.12 2026-08-14

• AltSelect 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• AutoCombine 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• AutoRes 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• BorderlessTD 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ColorUI 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• CustomParTools 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ExprHotStrings 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1
• HotkeyManager 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 extension init no longer requires the FNS shortcut; searchRoot is the containing toolkit root.
• FNS_OpMenu 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 IOFilter's switch is the new Iofilteractive toggle on the package, not a root parameter.
• FNS_Toolbar 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4
• HydroHomie 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• OpToClipboard 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4
• ParOPDrop 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ParRandomizer 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• QuickCollapse 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• QuickMarks 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3
• QuickPane 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
• QuickParCustom 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• ResetPLS1 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• SwapOps 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• SwitchOPs 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2
• paste_from_clipboard 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5

Tools own their parameters now. Every parent.FNS.par reference across the

toolkit -- 31 pars in 20 packages, plus the hotkey scan root and the

IOFilter gate -- is gone: each par is a plain tool-level value, the hotkey

manager anchors to whatever container it is installed in, and IOFilter

grew its own toggle.

v2.12.11 2026-08-14

• OpToClipboard 1.0.3 Active no longer hard-requires the dev root's par surface -- guarded parent.FNS lookup with a sane default, so a bare install works.
• QuickPane 1.0.4 Active no longer hard-requires the dev root's par surface -- guarded parent.FNS lookup with a sane default, so a bare install works.
• paste_from_clipboard 1.0.4 Folderpath falls back to Assets/clipboard_images when no root par exists, instead of erroring.

First release with the reworked bootstrap rail: the one-drop root now

ships the FNS global/parent shortcuts, the installer recooks a package

once before counting an install-time error, and the served configurator

shuts its web server down after a successful install.

v2.12.10 2026-08-14

• FNS_Navbar 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2

v2.12.9 2026-08-14

• FNS_Navbar 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
