How to turn off auto-refresh in the Asset Browser?

By /

By default, the Asset Browser refreshes its display every time it comes back in focus. This results in repeating a search operation to refetch data every time the Asset Browser window comes back in focus. This setting may be turned off using zoom.properties on the Zoom Client machine. Follow these steps:

  1. Open zoom.properties file from .zm in the current user’s folder (make sure hidden files are visible to view .zm folder) 
    Windows: [Userdir]\.zm\zoom.properties

    Mac: [Userdir]/.zm/zoom.properties

  2. Check for the property REFRESH_ON_FOCUS. If it is not present, then add it.
  3. Set REFRESH_ON_FOCUS to false.
  4. Save zoom.properties.
  5. Restart the Zoom Client.

Now, the Asset Browser will not refresh its displayed assets whenever it comes back in focus.
