After clicking the Add Project button, a file saving dialog popped up. It seems trying to save a file named "Project.Folder". And I cannot choose a Assets directory or its parent folder as the target. Clicking Save did nothing.

Using UnityLauncherPro.exe inside latest release

Add support for custom themes/color palettes like in Visual Studio.

Easiest way to save these themes would be using json with this framework: Newtonsoft's Json.NET

probably just need to modify packages.json to include those?

you can rearrange them with drag n drop, but they are not saved yet

• save re-arranged order of columns
• save column header adjusted sizes

using inverted colors, few items stay original color?
https://github.com/unitycoder/UnityLauncherPro/wiki/Custom-themes#inverted-colors

• cannot see the total size report (which is available on editor log)
• could add search box (to quickly search if certain file gets included in the build)
• sort by filetype column (image, script, prefab, ...)
• keep previous build size(s), so can compare *data is already in the editor.log (if didnt close unity, so could read multiple build reports from it, and allow displaying, comparing them)
• aldd open explorer (context menu or double click) for each file
• show image file resolution? (might be slow though..)
• save build report datagrid column sizes to preferences
• Keyboard controls for build report datagrid (Enter = Open, CTRL+C = copy path, F5 = Reload, ..)
• BUG: cannot read buildreport if unity has locked, file
• buttons to view previous/next build report (note: but need to refresh build reports, if new one is added after previously parsed reports, or would need to parse all reports again, everytime?)
• show build timestamp for currently selected build report (so that user knows if this is latest) *there is no timestamp info..
• error checking: if press get report during build, then cannot find end string for report?
• show streamingassets data size
• fix open build report item (since now uses array, old path doesn't work anymore)
• parse project path for each build report (otherwise cannot open file there)
• handle this log message "Information on used Assets is not available, since player data was not rebuilt. Do a clean build to view the Asset build report information."
• iterate streaming assets files and add into main report? (but then need to recalculate % values for all..)
• handle log files with timestamps? (if they appear here when enabled) *not affected
• show build elapsed time
• streaming assets folder size can be only displayed for latest build report (because older reports might have different files there) *or calculate from total build size, unless there are other hidden data that might be added to it?

i'm thinking about adding Properties.. context menu:

that would open separate proper properties window,
where you could manage things related to that project:

• Secret Project *if you dont want to show this project in the list (during streaming, screen shots etc), this could hide the project, or maybe just scramble the name and path
• Clear Library Folder
• Shows more project info and details Size in disk, Current platform...
• command line arguments editor (select args from ready list?)
• see list of packages and assets in the project
• project thumbnail (app icon, or manually selected image)
• project tags (so that can search by tag: like "work", "game", "vr")
• quick view of files and folders in the project (with search would be nice, if you are looking specific project that contained something)

if click version header, sorting is not correct: (since its default string sorting)

project was: 2018.3.3f1
suggested: 2018.4.8f1
should have been: 2018.3.13f1

for new quick project dialog:

• display platforms in the unity list (new column to datagrid)
• add combobox to select platform (take values from currently selected unity)
• close combobox with esc key (reset to previously selected value)
• make win64 default platform for the first time
• add shortcut keys to: Rename, Change platform, Select template (maybe F2, F3, F4)
• save selected platform for next time (although, maybe need to have settings combobox to set default new project platform?)
• pass selected combobox platform into project data, or pass when launching project?

each unity installation comes with default script templates,
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/210223733-How-to-customize-Unity-script-templates

would be nice to have option to replace those templates with your own (from defined input folder).
personally i'd add there Editor script template, maybe some shader templates too.. and remove those comments from default scripts.

should be easy to do:

• settings tab: add checkbox [ ] replace templates, add textbox for input template folder (this could support url later?)
• when unity editors are scanned, it checks if need to replace templates and copies (how to detect version/already copied)
• no option to revert changes though.. unless take backups.. ask user to take backups in tooltip..

When project is launched, record starting time,
when unity process ends, record ending time.

then can save that data into some statistics folder..
(although not accurate if you just leave unity running, but still)

this sounds useful,
https://forum.unity.com/threads/feature-request.1076933/

in recent unity versions(?) ProjectSettings/ contains "ProjectVersionPrevious.txt"
so could display this info somewhere if needed

could add some optional language data loader,
need to check for some minimalistic localization examples.

maybe:
https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/an-overview-of-wpf-localization-extension-with-an-example

• read latest report from editor.log
• show stats in some form (text as a first version)
• separate tab (that autorefreshes if enabled) or separate window that opens from Tools button?

like in hub, you can open project in another platform
(and also should be able to see whats the current platform, in hub you cannot easily)

Things ToDo:

• get current platform for the project
• get list of installed platforms for that specific unity version (this is available in unity.Platforms already)
• display those installed platforms in the dropdown menu (Platform column)
• set current platform as selected in the dropdown menu
• user can select another platform from dropdown menu
• make dictionary of all platform names (to match commandline buildtarget params)
• cleanup combobox style template and colors
• when project is launched, set -buildTarget ...... based on the selected dropdown item
• set theme colors for combobox, so can customize it
• Need to refresh project platform at some point (otherwise shows old platform, if had changed it in the editor)
• Manual Refresh loses started Process reference, need to keep it for Process.Exited() event

to quickly create new project, without opening hub. (or context menu)

requires

• setting field for base project folder (under which it creates new folder using unity version as a project name, with counter if already exits. Example: "2020b")
• creates folder, launches selected unity into that

• find where to buy cheap one ( https://codesigningstore.com/code-signing/comodo-code-signing-certificate , https://www.thesslstore.com/promoads/cheap-code-signing.aspx ) ???
• add to appveyor build pipeline (docs https://stackoverflow.com/a/64510718/5452781 , https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/26836-signing-the-msi-using-signtool-and-pfx signscript https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/master/appveyor.yml )

It depends of project
Application.persistentDataPath

like hub v3

to run automatically when logged in

see pic above ,Line 497 of "Tools.cs " have some unexpect array item.
and I've found bug,cause you just replace "(64-bit)"

一些建议：
1.标记指定工程为：喜欢，以便收藏这个工程。
2.根据用户开启工程频度来判定星级。星级范围：0~5.
3.创建支持折叠和展开的分组。
4.工程列表子项支持拖曳，便于指定分组。

some advises:

1. Mark the designated project as: Like, in order to collect this project.
2. Judging the star rating based on the frequency with which the user opens the project. Star range: 0 ~ 5.
3. Create groups that support folding and unfolding.
4. The project list sub-item supports drag and drop, which is convenient for specifying grouping.

The functional suggestions I gave seem to be found in any music player.

some ideas what needs to be done:

• Take unity recent projects from registry (like it does already)
• Load your existing own dictionary or list, of all recent projects (up to 100-200, depending if it starts to get too slow)
• Merge unity registry and full list, can do that because project path is unique, so can check duplicates
• Sort list by date before adding as source (or enable datagrid modified column sort as default)
• Display full merged list (or unity 40 list), depending on your setting
• Add settings checkbox: show only unity registry projects or keep x amount of projects history
• trim list to max length (after sorting by date)
• add new items to preferences list, but when? on datagrid refresh, if added project, or on exit? (and need to filter duplicates)
• duplicate project: backslashes vs forward slashes
• handle moved folders (remove from custom history?, but then if want to have show missing projects..) *they get filtered out most of the time, because on sorting, null modified dates go to last (before trimming project list)
• enabled setting only takes effect after restart app?
• bug: missing project displays target platform, even though it hasn't any, and if search, it doesn't display platform *it was sorting issue?
• needs option to remove single items from list, since now some random project might end up on the list (of 1000 projects), even if its never used again.. (restore old "delete project from list" context menu? it deletes item from registry OR from custom list.. i think it works now, since projects are sorted) *Unity Hub moves next registry items to removed project items places, and then leaves only 0-38 items on the registry list, but they are not sorted.
• handle situation: project is in both registry and custom list, should remove from custom list then? *i think this is already in, at GetProjects.scan()
• handle situation: if have enabled show missing projects? might get lots of them, if have 1000 projects in history.. *can remove projects from context menu

Extras later:

• multi-threading might be needed to scan project properties
• window where user can remove projects from that custom full list (or clear preferences list button)
• Checkbox/Combobox to select which types of projects to display (Hobby, Work, Prototypes? This could be useful to quickly filter out all quick projects (based on folder path))
• OR, user could tag/favorite some projects, that then get added to custom list (always available, even if not listed in registry)
• listbox in settings, to insert unity project root paths (so all folders get scanned and added from those folders, always)
• option to AutoRemove projects after x days?, save lastopened.txt in non-git folder, cannot use last modified date to remove, or can we?
• need to see where this project is coming from (from unity registry or from custom list), otherwise feels strange to see different list and order in hub

old text
current limitation comes from unity, they only save 40 recent project items into registry.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unity Technologies\Unity Editor 5.x
RecentlyUsedProjectPaths-0 to RecentlyUsedProjectPaths-39

could save them to separate dictionary, project path as index key?
but will there be issues merging unity registry recent items, with custom saved list ?
(since there will be duplicates, deleted projects, and need to sort by date also)

or manually save into unity registry, with new added item numbers?
(but does it mean if you open new project, you need to modify 40+ reg keys to append item as first?)

seems to check Assembly-CSharp-Editor.csproj before the other file, but Assembly-CSharp.csproj is more correct:

otherwise you cannot install modules, if you installed Unity outside official Hub,
and now they removed install module direct download link from editor build settings window too..

need to do this setting:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/hub-option-add-modules-disappeard.935219/#post-6118490

• add option toggle for "make hub think that unity was installed from hub" or something
• read file %APPDATA%\UnityHub\editors.json
• replace "manual": true, with "manual": false, and save back

for unity workflows, their exe is at:
<UnityRepo>\build\WindowsEditor\x64\Release\Unity.exe

which is missed, because of scanning with fixed editor/ path:

reference:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-launcher-launch-correct-unity-versions-for-each-project-automatically.488718/#post-7548040

so that unity installation appears as an "installed from hub", hub seems to generate it inside releaseFileIO.js

then you could install modules with hub:

info from:
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/3c2fbfebd60cd91d91c82a8b32ae26281687544d/Editor/Mono/BuildPlayerWindow.cs#L583

modules.json contains download and install paths:

unless browse folder first in Explorer, maybe due to some caching or other issue?
apparently could try unc path?

similar issues with other apps, so maybe not launcher bug

todo

• arrange to groups
• how to fit more settings? (its already full..) *make root folders much smaller! usually only few lines max there

currently all settings are in one list:

could have separate categories:

could import your own unitypackage into project when its created.
(for example to create required folders, Scripts/ Scenes/ or other stuff that you commonly use)

new todo

• custom init script that is copied to project and does what users wants
• settings field for init script and toggle to have it enabled for new projects
• add template init script in wiki or separate repo (creates folders for empty project etc)
• launch new project and call init script

ideas for later

• dropdown menu in New Project window, to select which of your Init scripts to use (mobile, vr, webgl, gamejam...)
• check that script contains valid method for: -executeMethod UnityLauncherProTools.InitializeProject.Init()

Skipped (cannot import empty packages with unitypackage)
TODO (to allow selecting custom startup unitypackage on project creation)

• settings tab: textbox for your unitypackages folder (contains your templates)
• settings tab: browse for templates folder
• settings: remember your last selected package in NewProject window (it defaults to "None" at first run)
• if package missing, display red outline in listbox, and/or just select "None"
• add commandline option -importpackage, if user had selected some package for import
• save settings to prefs (settings, selected folder path)
• load settings from prefs (settings, selected folder path)
• Blocker: How to make unitypackage that contains empty folders? *https://forum.unity.com/threads/import-empty-folders-from-unitypackage.1247293/
• if cannot import package, then need to unzip custom folder structure, or your files into project (but unitypackage would be better, since it can hold unity related data..)

Notes2:

• making your own gzip file inside unity editor templates folder would work also (later could allow template listings from another shared folder), but then might require admin access to copy files into templates folder..

• select project that has missing unity version
• click new project
• crash

this file contains hash code
Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\windowsstandalonesupport\Source\WindowsPlayer\WindowsPlayer\UnityConfigureRevision.gen.h

this hash can be then used for downloading more platforms (without starting unity and going into build settings), with direct links like:
http://beta.unity3d.com/download/7e2ed8c1221a/TargetSupportInstaller/UnitySetup-Universal-Windows-Platform-Support-for-Editor-2020.1.0b4.exe
http://beta.unity3d.com/download/7e2ed8c1221a/TargetSupportInstaller/UnitySetup-WebGL-Support-for-Editor-2020.1.0b4.exe

• its also available per project, at: ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt
• visible on unity.exe productVersion

todo

• parse code only when needed (not at start)
• add option to download platform installer for selected unity version, but how/where?
• build download link from hash, unity version, selected platform installer

"master" should stay runnable, "dev" is work in progress.

https://github.com/unitycoder/UnityLauncherPro/tree/dev

current command is:
adb logcat -s Unity ActivityManager PackageManager dalvikvm DEBUG -v color

but sometimes might want to modify it.

• add options textbox for the command
• add reset to default button (if messed it up)

for these

would need list of tools/packages/resources download links list (like android sdk/jdk/ndk),
list should be some easy-to-fetch over web (without updating launcher).

this is to save time from searching correct packages/downloads.

if double click here, it selects that row:

then no need to do build'n'run again to install into device
(if previous build n run install failed due to usb debugging options or others)

actually this cannot be Tools tab button? since apk depends on the project.. then it needs to be context menu

• find apk from build folder? or get latest apk filename from build report? or add android build folder setting field, to look for apk in that folder only
• parse LastBuild.buildreport (for last build filename output) *but its custom format https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-load-a-unity-binary-file-lastbuild-buildreport.829938/ ** this could help https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/BuildReportInspector *** PlayerDataCache\Android\ScriptsOnlyCache.yaml has playerPath row
• install apk to device with adb commands https://stackoverflow.com/a/4756492/5452781
• if its already installed with different key, need to uninstall first
• context menu: install last build to device (but should be hidden if no build available..)
• launch apk after install (requires knowing package name.. and then wont work if package name has changed for apk) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4567904/how-to-start-an-application-using-android-adb-tools

It should be renamed to Editors or Editor Installations, because Unitys does not sound right at all.

steps

• edit arguments cell
• dont press enter to end edit, but just select same row again
• double click same row to launch project (it doesnt launch)

works if press enter to finish arguments cell edit, or select another row, then double click original row again

in unity tab:

• set preferred version
• click new project button
• cancel
• set preferred version
• click new project button
• warning:

so that its easier to paste on other programs (instead of right click copy path)

each editor has template files in:
Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\ProjectTemplates\

• read list of those template files for selected unity editor
• add dropdown option to select template from those found items
• unzip into new project that you are creating
• update templates list when unity version selection changes
• fix keyboard handling for new project window (now with combobox)

empty new project contains too many useless packages,
and its slow to remove them from Package manager one by one:

TODO,
new project window

• checkbox to allow [ ] use minimal packages? (just visual studio?)
• or, separate packages list popup where you can select and toggle packages? (and it remembers those selections next time)
• how to handle separate unity versions, have different packages..

OR,

• option to replace and edit default packages PER unity installation... this might actually easier / better. (*But requires admin access to modify installation directory files)

OR2,

• Global package "blacklist", with button to "remove blacklisted default packages from all installations" ?

OR3,

• when creating new project, you select your own template (but requires you to first create own template.. maybe that needs simple template editor then.. but problem with unity version changes.. packages will change)

looks like the default manifest is at:
Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\Editor\manifest.json
and it allows setting if package is default?
