Time for a new update. (I have tried it only in 4.3 and 4.4)

**What’s New in v1.2.0**

1- **UI polished.**  
A cleaner, more organized interface for managing material overrides.

2- **Logic updated.**  
Now all the operators will work even on linked materials, making it more flexible for linked assets.

3- **Added “Update Legacy”**  
The new node group now uses a **checkbox** instead of a float slider for enabling/disabling the override.  
The **Update Legacy** tool in the Utilities panel automatically converts old node groups to the new format.  
Just _Click and Go_ – no manual adjustments needed.

Feel free to use and modify the script to suit your needs. Please note that it is shared as-is, and I take no responsibility for any issues that may arise from its use.
