+
+Perfect! I've fixed both operators to properly handle the context requirements. The changes:
+
+## What I Fixed:
+
+1. **Context Override**: Both operators now create a proper context override that includes the Outliner area and region
+2. **Proper Context**: The `outliner.lib_operation` operator requires an Outliner context to work properly
+3. **Error Handling**: Both operators still have proper error handling and user feedback
+
+## How It Works:
+
+- **`override = context.copy()`**: Creates a copy of the current context
+- **`override['area']`**: Sets the area to the first Outliner area found on the screen
+- **`override['region']`**: Sets the region to the WINDOW region within that Outliner area
+- **`bpy.ops.outliner.lib_operation(override, type='RELOAD'/'RELOCATE')`**: Calls the operator with the proper context
+
+Now both the "Relocate Libraries" and "Reload Libraries" buttons should work correctly without the context error. The operators will automatically find an Outliner area and use it for the library operations, even when called from the 3D View panel.

+The error indicates that the `outliner.lib_operation` operator doesn't support the context override approach I used. Let me fix this by using a different method that's more compatible with Blender's operator system.

+
+Perfect! Now both operators have fallback mechanisms:
+
+## **Reload Libraries Operator:**
+1. **Primary**: Tries `bpy.ops.outliner.lib_operation(type='RELOAD')`
+2. **Fallback**: If that fails, manually reloads each library using `library.reload()`
+
+## **Relocate Libraries Operator:**
+1. **Primary**: Tries `bpy.ops.outliner.lib_operation(type='RELOCATE')`
+2. **Fallback**: If that fails, uses `bpy.ops.file.find_missing_files()` which is more reliable
+
+## **Why This Approach:**
+
+- **Context Issues**: The outliner operations might require specific UI contexts that aren't always available
+- **Fallback Safety**: If the primary method fails, the fallback ensures the operation still works
+- **User Experience**: Users get feedback about which method succeeded
+- **Compatibility**: The fallback methods work from any context in Blender
+
+Now try the buttons again. If the outliner operations still fail due to context issues, the fallback methods should work and provide the same functionality.

+2. **Operator searches all search paths** for missing libraries
+3. **Reports how many libraries were found**
+4. **Automatically attempts to relocate** the found libraries using `bpy.ops.file.find_missing_files()`
+5. **Provides feedback** on whether relocation succeeded or failed
+
+## **Benefits of This Approach:**
+
+- **Streamlined UI**: One button instead of two
+- **Better UX**: Users don't need to remember to click relocate after finding
+- **Automatic workflow**: Finding and relocating happen in sequence
+- **Cleaner code**: Removed duplicate functionality
+- **Consistent behavior**: Always attempts relocation after finding
+
+## **What Was Removed:**
+
+- Separate "Relocate Libraries" button
+- `DLM_OT_relocate_libraries` operator class
+- Related register/unregister calls
+
+Now when users click "Find libraries in these folders", they'll get a complete solution that finds the missing libraries and automatically attempts to reconnect them in one operation.

+
+Perfect! I've removed the unused Settings panel. Now the UI is cleaner and more focused on the core functionality:
+
+1. **Linked Libraries Analysis** - with scan, library list, and search paths
+2. **Asset Replacement** - for working with selected objects
+
+The `selected_asset_path` property was likely a leftover from earlier development and wasn't serving any purpose. Removing it makes the interface more streamlined and removes visual clutter.

+
+_**Assistant**_
+
+I can see you want to replace the third column (which shows the file path) with a button that opens the blend file. Let me update the UI to replace the path display with an "Open Blend" button:
+
+
+---
+
+The string to replace was not found in the file.
+
+---
+
+I see the issue - the selected item details section was already removed when we moved it. Let me add it back at the bottom of the Linked Libraries Analysis section, but with the Open Blend button instead of the path display:

+
+Perfect! Now I've added the selected item details section back at the bottom of the Linked Libraries Analysis, but with the key change you requested:
+
+## **What Changed:**
+
+1. **Moved the details panel to the bottom** - After the search paths and action buttons
+2. **Replaced the path display with an "Open Blend" button** - Instead of showing the long file path, users now get a direct button to open the selected blend file
+3. **Cleaner layout** - The third column now contains a functional button instead of just text
+
+## **New Layout:**
+
+- **First column**: Selected library name
+- **Second column**: Status (MISSING/INDIRECT MISSING/OK) with appropriate icons
+- **Third column**: "Open Blend" button that directly opens the selected blend file
+
+This makes the interface more functional and user-friendly, as users can now directly open blend files from the panel instead of just seeing the file path.
