When opening a project that I work day by day, Unity always import all assets, it’s getting annoying since the project is getting bigger in assets quantity/size.
What is wrong with my version of Unity 3.0 ? we have a valid license running but we have no clue about this. In other machines the projects work fine.
where is your project folder located ? what system are you on ?
I used to have that also on Vista. I moved my project folder to my Documents and it stopped.
Having similar issue, Unity always imports despite saving the project and the scene. My buddies are having this issue on their macs but I am not having the issue on mine. It takes a good 20 minutes or more to import so a solution to this problem would be nice.
Are you using any sort of asset server? SVN or anything like that? There are some files that constantly update in the Cache and in a temp folder. When they are opened for read any file sharing that is going on (Subversion, Drop Box, Etc) notices a change and is read as an update. As a result Unity knows something has changed but may not always be sure what so it seems to default to re-importing all assets.
I noticed this and tried doing some experimenting. If I am the only one to access the project from one computer and NOT change any files externally I do not get this problem but as soon as I access file shares ESPECIALLY via third party software you can count on a complete re-import.
Not using any asset server of any kind.
Something is reading and writing in your directory that would be the only way I can think that it would re import. Just for good measure I experimented myself by moving a file after I saved and closed unity. When I opened Unity sure enough I got an all asset import. My project takes about 35 minutes at this point so I can see how that is just too much. When I pull in an asset from outside the project right into unity I do not have that issue. Are you doing modeling outside of unity an then just placing the files in the folder before relaunch?
how odd, the problem disappeared. Was forcing us to import yesterday but not today…oh well, no issues anymore, heh.
I like and want that solution, how do I trigger it ???
