Rick Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have a project here and even though I deleted every material from the editor by right clicking on asset in Assets tab and selecting delete, then save the project, when I reopen they are all there again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggrorJorn Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Josh is at the GDC. As soon as he gets back he will start bug fixing. There are lot of them so don't worry he will get to it as soon as he is able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 This is kind of a tricky situation. You deleted the asset file, then when the editor restarted it automatically reconverted the file from whatever source file it came from. Should the editor try to guess and delete the original source file too? Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Rick Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 If I delete a texture it should be gone from the project shouldn't it? I'm confused as to why that wouldn't be the case. Why not just leave the original source alone completely? Is there something I'm missing? Am I able to alter the source file and if it's already imported it'll automatically bring that change into the editor? If so that solves my issues, but I have to imagine at some point if we really want the asset to be deleted we would want to break that link to the source and totally remove the asset and it's files in the editor. Along these lines, I noticed that if I delete a texture/material/asset, there are meta files or something that stay. Then if I re-import the texture (after changing it for example) the filename now has a (1) after it. Every time I make a change to a texture file I have to go into the project directory and delete the extra files that stay to avoid this.

Josh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 We use the real file system for the project. There is no "adding" files into the project, they're either there or they aren't.

Rick Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Adding/importing what's the difference? If I drag a tga file into the project, it gets copied (added) and converted to tex and put into the project directory? It also seems to have a meta file around it. So if I delete a tex file from the editor, I would expect the tga file (in the project dir), tex file, and meta file would all get deleted. I must be missing as to why that's a bad thing though. All my source files are in my own directory somewhere else, and those are the files I drag into the editor to be part of the project. I always have my source files to go back to.

Josh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It might not be bad to delete the TGA file. I'm just not going to change the design without thinking it through and making sure it's for the best.

tournamentdan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 We use the real file system for the project. There is no "adding" files into the project, they're either there or they aren't. I see. So what your saying is the project does not contain the file of the object. The project only contains the path of the file. So could we have the ability to delete the file path from the project?

Rick Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm seeing the tga files I dragged into the asset folder in the project folder so to me it looks more like it copies the files to the project folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
