Quick History is an editor extending plugin, implementing fast access to asset browsing history. It removes necessity of browsing each time for assets that you are currently working with, event after stopping editor from debugger level, as history is recording dynamically not only on proper editor closing.

Plugin offers pinning of assets you are working with, working just like favorites, letting you build list of currently working set. Plugin allows for quick jump to asset in content browser, filtering by type and search.

Now available for Unreal Engine 5
