3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets. 
There is most unique from them – the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials. 
You can also write a description for material and, of course, assign categories to materials.

    • Introduces a new caching system for preview images, allowing more assets to be displayed in Listview
    • Optimizes the display of a large number of assets in Listview
    • Adds the ability to specify custom directories for preview search using the "Auto-Assign Preview" tool

    • Adds support for MariaDB version 10.8
    • Provides the ability to show a map in the viewport for scene-materials
    • Speeds up mass-rename/move operations for assets

connecter vs Project Manager

We have used connecter and Project Manager for years and Connecter is (was) free it never gave us all the options and features we got with Project Manager.
