Addressables checkbox in inspector is not showing its true value

Hi

I have a small quality of life feature request. I would like that the addressable checkbox in the inspector to show if an item is addressable or not. Currently it only displays if it is addressable if the item itself is, but not if a parent folder is.
The asset itself:
6775895--783620--upload_2021-1-28_17-19-43.png
The parent folder:
6775895--783626--upload_2021-1-28_17-20-3.png

This makes it harder to know what items are actually addressables and which arent. (I just had a new guy on the team not understand why things worked because the assets didnt appear to be addressables).

I propose that the addressables checbox is greyed out (and showing its path) if it is addressabled (is that a word) through its parent folder.

Agreed. However it should also indicate whether it’s the asset or the folder that is marked.

Also a huge quality of life would be if the assets/folders in Project window were somehow visually distinguished from others. I find myself clicking on each asset to check if they are marked way too often. Perhaps a small dot next to a name, or just a font change … italics or underline?

There are so many much needed and easy-to-identify QoL improvements. It feels as if the dev team is not using their own tool in any production environment. Addressables is a great concept and I wish nothing more than the devs taking a step back from the advanced features and polish the experience of the basics. Currently it’s very confusing, unintuitive and hard to navigate.

It would have to be disabled too, as we currently have no control over the naming of assets addressed by folder (which I have no issue with).

This is how I solved it for now. the A means its addressable
