I have webgl building and I just move some files while waiting and I dragged a file over the editor while it was still building and windows thought to see what file icon to show on the mouse when dragging files on editor, BUT Since its frozen from build windows explorer the app responsible for the windows interface has frozen to waiting for unity to respond, but since webgl builds take WAY TO LONG the computer was almost unusable until it finished hours later. So is there a way to disable file dropping on the editor while something is building or compiling. This was just a huge waste of time that ill never get back from a simple problem.
Yeah that sort of thing might happen. It’s on Windows really for not using a timeout when an application doesn’t respond to a “drop” within a given time. Unity cannot respond at that time.
Though you should have been able to open a new Explorer ie Win+E for instance. And if the computer is unusable it’s likely because the build consumes a lot of resources, which may indicate your system may not be adequately equipped. Even at 100% CPU usage during builds I and most others can still browse the web and play Youtube videos just fine.
As to building for WebGL you can speed this up significantly by having the Development Build checkbox enabled. Only disable this for final release builds since it will take 10-100 times longer (that’s what the difference feels like).
