Windows 10 Pro English latest version
Blender 3.1
Lily Surface Scraper 1.8.0 (LSS)
Texture Directory set to a local path with textures download before with older version of Lily Surface Scraper

Before in the old version and if you look at the YouTube tutorials you can add a material by copy of the url address in your browser and then add it in (import) to the materials and selected object is getting this material.
With the latest version of LSS from 1.7.x I am missing these website buttons to go to the website and add the material you like by copy paste

I don't think its a bug but change of the addon, so for me , am I correct I cant find these buttons anymore and cant add like we could before? I myself never used, as a new user for blender found these options a month or so ago and with a test I could replicate it with the YouTube video. Now with Blender 3.1 and LSS 1.8.0 missing these options

1- Is this correct? and if so will this in a later version be back again?
2- I checked the materials list website and see some websites supported, but are not working as far I can see
3- Or do I need to do anything else to get this feature back again?

Sitenote:
(When I wanted to remove the version 1.7.5 rc3 it wasn't possible so I removed manually the folder)
C:\Users\erol\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.1\scripts\addons\LilySurfaceScraper

Then installed 1.8.0 of LSS and worked.
Some screenshots for more details:

And where the link to the website was before:

The Import World is working, use Poly Haven HDRI then import world or Import from clipboard, In my case I am searching for the materials to add to an object in Blender

Is there a way that when this feature isn't anymore how I can tell LSS where to look and show the blender path for the downloaded materials should be, I understand in 1.8.0 of LSS this should be possible?

In advance thanks for your answer, no hurries , I wait when you have the time to answer and very happy with this addon and hope to use it in the future while learning working with blender.

All the best,
Erol
