The latest Update Manager 1.6.3 release introduces a more flexible and efficient way to manage and store your ITOOSOFT libraries, giving artists, studios, and technical teams complete control over where assets live. Whether you’re working on a single workstation or inside a large production environment, this update makes your library management faster, cleaner, and easier to customize.

With expanded storage freedom, smarter caching options, and improved installation behavior, Update Manager 1.6.3 is designed to streamline your workflow from the moment you hit “Download.”

Install Libraries Anywhere You Need Them

This update puts you in command of your storage setup. You can now choose exactly where the built-in libraries are installed, allowing you to optimize performance based on your workspace.

The Assets Folder, which stores downloaded presets, materials, maps, and other content, can now be redirected to any custom path. Whether it’s a high-speed local SSD or a centralized studio server, you decide where your content lives.

This gives teams more control over:

• Performance optimization (faster local disk reads)
• Shared access across multiple artists
• Flexible storage planning for large asset libraries
• Resource consistency in studio pipelines

Smarter Shared Caching for Teams

To reduce confusion and make workflows more intuitive, the previous Network Shared Folder has been renamed to Packages Cache Folder.

This folder works as a shared cache where downloaded packages are stored, helping teams:

• Reduce redundant downloads
• Save bandwidth
• Ensure consistent asset versions across multiple machines
• Maintain synchronized studio environments

For both freelancers and large studios, this change makes library distribution simpler and more reliable.

Improved Reliability and Smooth Install Management

Update Manager 1.6.3 also improves how cancellations are handled during installations. If you interrupt the process, the system now responds more gracefully, reducing the risk of partial installs or content conflicts.

This enhancement keeps your environment stable and reduces time spent troubleshooting asset issues.

How to Choose a New Storage Location

Setting a custom path for your libraries takes just a few clicks. Here’s how:

1. Open Update Manager.
2. Go to File → Preferences…
3. Under the General tab, look for Assets Location.
4. Click Select Folder and choose your preferred path, local or network.
5. Hit OK to apply your changes.

From this point on, all new downloads will be stored in the location you’ve selected. This gives you the flexibility to build a workflow that matches your pipeline, whether that’s a fast local drive or a shared studio repository.
