@Wizor

I’m switching from using Prims, and there was a project browser where i could see all saved files from all DCC for specific task. For example: if i had task “layout” and in this task was used Houdini and Blender, it was nice to see in project manager browser these two DCC was used.

Not yet, but it’s quite commonly requested feature (as you can see here ) so I can see it making it’s way in fairly quickly.

@Wizor

Is there way to load specific packages in Houdini depends on project? For example loading Redshift only for one project and in others it should be turned off.

Yes, the best way is to use or system of tools environments. You can define any tools you’d like, assign them to respective applications, or even to individual shots actually. There is a good guide for it here Ayon/Openpype Env Vars and Tools Configuration Explained and here Configuring Tool Groups in OpenPype

@Wizor

Is there way to limit softwares to specifi task? for e.g in modeling we will have only Blender, for lookdev/lighting - Houdini/Maya etc.

Not yet, but coming hopefully soon to AYON near you

@Wizor

Is there any browser to look what reprentations have other older product versions?

There isn’t, but a great suggestion!

I’ll try to get someone else to answer the other points.
