Import And Export

Super IO keeps the old workflow simple: copy outside Blender, paste inside Blender.

Import

After copying files from your file manager, press Ctrl+Shift+V in Blender. Super IO checks the copied paths and the active editor, then chooses a matching import flow.

Common imports include:

• OBJ, STL, PLY, FBX, glTF, SVG, and other formats supported by Blender.
• Blend files, with more detailed append/link style choices.
• Images as reference images, planes, shader nodes, world textures, or asset previews.
• Folders for material and texture workflows.

When multiple custom rules match the same file type, Super IO shows a menu so you can choose the right import preset.

Export

Select objects in the 3D View and press Ctrl+Shift+C to open the export menu. Super IO can export selected objects through Blender's built-in exporters and place the result on the clipboard.

Image workflows can export the current image as a file, and clipboard-aware workflows can paste the output into another app or file manager.

Editor Context

The same copied data can be handled differently depending on the active editor:

• In the 3D View, images can become reference objects or image planes.
• In Shader Editor and Geometry Nodes, images can become texture nodes.
• In Image Editor, clipboard image operations use Blender's image clipboard API.
