A few questions came up from users on how to convert objects in a scene file to KIT OPS KPACKS using KIT OPS BATCH. 

Awhile back, we added a secret prefs mode to enable this feature, and some have missed it. Here's a quick video showing how to do this quickly. BTW, Batch can also create thumbnails from existing files, as well as a host of other features, including just exporting .blend files from all objects in a scene.

Batch Secret Export Mode

This is a short video about Batch Secret Export Mode which allows you to export all the objects in a scene file as .blend INSERTS for KPACKS.

Thank you Chipp missed that feature.

okay, I guess I know which app will be next in my Kitops Suite Completion Quest! I'm wondering, tho, has someone tried KO batching sets from Kitbash3D? It would be a good alternative to the nightmare known as Cargo for Blender users, at least.

So maybe I would need to study this a more, but a question that pops up, what is the main difference and benefit using this workflow rather than marking the objects as assets and get them via the asset browser?

There are lots of advantages. For one you can't group assets and then access them via the asset browser. You also can't have boolean cutters in the asset browser. This means you can't have assemblies including a cutter and other objects, for instance a whole and a bolt head as an asset. You can't add materials to specific slots from the asset browser. You can't reposition objects while snapping to faces edges or vertices in the asset browser. You literally have no control over the thumbnail image in the asset browser. There is no smart mode where you can replicate or mirror about the target in the asset browser. Not to mention you can add/create inserts with a more streamlined workflow than the asset browser. I'm creating a video that will go over all this.
