A bunch of things could be optimized a lot.

So, basically we've (my gamedev team) dropped the idea to separate models like this.
And currently using something like this:
Content/Assets/Characters/Knight/
Models/KnightModel.flax
Textures/KnightBodyDiffuse.flax
Materials/...
TPVKnightPrefab.flax
KnightSettings.flax
Content/Assets/Weapons/LongSword1/
Models/LongSword1Model.flax
Textures/LongSword1Diffuse.flax
Materials/...
TPVLongSword1Prefab.flax
LongSword1Settings.flax
Where Content is the Flax's default root dir.

One thing the plugin could automatically do would be name-prefixing. So you could have
Knight/Textures/Body Diffuse.png and it would turn into Knight/Textures/Knight Body Diffuse.flax

Currently it only keeps the files in sync. Ideally, it would also synchronize the folder structure.

Currently the target folder is Content/Imported. A neater folder would be Content/Assets.

Currently, when you import a file (say .png), you'll end up with a binary .flax file. This file stores the image and the import settings.
Combined with an auto importer, the .flax file is a partially auto-generated file. So, I was wondering if it's possible to only store the import settings in a GitHub repository and how you would go about doing so?

It seems like it could work like this (names are subject to change)

• /Source/Assets: Original files
• Somewhere: Import settings?
• /Content/Imported: Imported files

It could be added to the .gitignore, however that requires super deterministic importers that don't change across versions.

Sometimes there are files in the Assets folder that really shouldn't get imported. For example, a Readme.md file.

Maybe? Hopefully?

Currently, when reimport is called, the importing popup still pops up.

When the editor isn't focused, pause the actual re-importing.

Currently, it only checks for the existence of the said folders on startup. It would be better if it always checked for their existence.
