HAL9001

Hello there! I just opened a scene in which I edited some CUA assets with your plugin, but I found the changes weren't saved?

Hm, if you look at the .JSON of the scene and search for the plugin data, does it have a list of the elements that were supposed to be removed?
like this:

Code:

...
{
  "id" : "CustomUnityAsset",
  "on" : "true",
  "type" : "CustomUnityAsset",
  "position" : {
...
  "storables" : [
  {
    "id" : "asset",
    "assetName" : "Assets/staff.unity",
    "assetUrl" : "SELF:/Custom/Assets/TCCArchive/Props/staff.assetbundle"
  },
  {
...
  },
  {
    "id" : "plugin#0_HAL9001.CUA_Editor",
    "enabled" : "false",
    "G_thenameofsomeoftheelementsyouremovedhere1" : "false",
    "G_thenameofsomeoftheelementsyouremovedhere2" : "false",
    "G_thenameofsomeoftheelementsyouremovedhere3" : "false"
  }
]

If yes, it has saved and has a retrieval problem. If not, something went wrong when saving indeed.
Is the CUA large and takes a long time loading? Or is it small and is rather fast?

Also, we should have this discussion in the plugin discussion thread, not on my profile ;-)

Ok, I was able to replicate this..., well, it's not strictly an error, but a sequence of steps one should not (need to) do:
- Create CUA and select asset
- Add Plugin
- Plugin should automatically populate the elements.
- When it does, the toggles remember the state that each CUA element initially had (on/off) as default value.
- When saving the scene after editing, it will only save values that have changed from the default (saves space in the file)
- So, when you edit, and then press "Rescan CUA", it will rediscover the structure and assume all the changed elements as the new default...
- ...which then means, all those settings, as they are the new default, will not be saved next time.

To avoid this, never press "Rescan CUA" unless you just chose another asset package and/or something went really wrong. To be sure, select "none" as a CUA, "Rescan the CUA" (which will end up empty, basically flushing all wrong default values), then select the proper asset again and things should be fine.

Hope this makes sense? I'll add this to the information page... Thanks for stumbling over this... bug? feature?
