Change Log

v1.9.1 - Feb 01, 2024

• API Changes: These static methods have been MOVED from Asset to Asset.File:
  • GetMainType
  • GetSubType
  • GetGuid
  • GetFileId
  • GetGuidAndFileId
  • Rationale: These methods hindered API discovery via auto-completion by cluttering the Asset namespace, and they truly belong to the File API since they query asset file attributes.
• Fixed: 2021.3 shows warning when copying (duplicate, save as new) an asset, complaining that filename must match asset object name. This is likely a bug in Unity.
• Fixed the same 2021.3 issue in workflow sample. Also required importing batched asset after copying them.
• Asset.File.Import takes IEnumerable as input (not just array)

v1.8.6 - Jan 30, 2024

• added Sample: Asset Workflow with GUI. Allows selecting between CodeSmile and Unity API. Unity API code is 33% more lines/characters, with folder creation hardcoded.

v1.8.5 - Jan 29, 2024

• added Asset.File.FindPaths overload accepting Path[]
• added Asset.Label.GetAll overload accepting Path
• added Asset.Label.Remove and Asset().RemoveLabel
• fixed invalid cast exception (Asset.Path[] to string[])
• removed add sub-asset check for ".asset" extension. Turns out you can also add subassets to a .mesh extension asset and there may be others.

v1.8.4 - Jan 24, 2024

• added asset lifetime sample script
• updated documentation

v1.8.3 - Jan 22, 2024

• Importer tests: disable some tests in 2021.3 because the method is not available
• Rename test: log warning in 2021.3 to mention that the following warning is expected

v1.8.2 - Dec 26, 2023

• updated README and API docs
• removed extra call to "ImportIfNotImported" in load asset method chain

v1.8.1 - Dec 21, 2023

• added AvailableImporters property
• added missing Asset.Importer, Asset.Path and Asset.File.Create tests

v1.8.0 - Dec 09, 2023

• renamed ForceReserializeAssets to UpgradeAssetSerializationVersion and
• renamed ForceReserializeAllAssets to UpgradeAllAssetSerializationVersions (*)

(*) To provide more rationale: I saw a user's script where the user helplessly threw in the usual candidates due to some issue, but this also included "ForceReserializeAssets". That's when I realized the name of the method only describes what it does internally but not its intent respectively what it should be used for: upgrading the version (format) of serialized assets when you change editor versions and you want version control not polluting these upgrades in individual future commits.
