BatchEditing()

static void BatchEditing ( [NotNull] Action massAssetFileEditAction )

static

Batch multiple asset file operations to improve execution speed.

Within the massAssetFileEditAction the AssetDatabase will queue any CodeSmileEditor.Asset.File operations and runs them afterwards in a single refresh cycle. This can significantly speed up mass file operations.

The callback Action is safeguarded against exceptions leaving the AssetDatabase in a 'suspended' state. Also note that Allow.. and DisallowAutoRefresh calls are already implied when using Start/StopAssetEditing. See the code snippet below for implementation details.

CAUTION:

• Importing an asset and subsequently trying to load the asset within the callback will return null.
• For that reason you cannot create new Asset instances or call methods that create Asset instances, such as Copy, during batch editing.
• When 'externally' modifying files and importing those, consider the above implication. You need to defer loading and working with these objects. Calling BatchEditing twice is good practice (first modify & import, then load the assets).

Parameters

massAssetFileEditAction

Write any mass file editing code in this action.
