Custom Context menu for Project view?

Unity Engine
1

I was wondering if it’s possible to add new context menu entries when right clicking in the Project view?
There are many, many short little scripts I would like to add here… 1 example is right clicking on a texture and have an ‘Auto-Material’ entry that quickly sets it up for you. Many other things in mind to.

I found lots of examples about context menu’s for GameObjects and inside your own custom editor windows, but what about the Project view?

Cheers!

I had the exact same idea with the Material thing, has anyone got any suggestions? I’ve been looking through editor classes and couldn’t find anything referring to the right-click context menu.

Tag your method with the MenuItem attribute, and add ‘Assets’ to the start of the path.

 [MenuItem("Assets/Stuff/DoSomething")]
        public static void Init()
        {
            var file = Selection.activeObject.name;
            DoSomethingToFile( file );
        }

Cool. Any idea how to “grey out” those items if for instance the wrong type of asset is selected?

Of better yet, the ContextMenu attribute. :wink:
