HideFlags on a Texture? Preventing search of asset in Project/Inspector

Unity Engine
1

I have a texture (png) that I would like to HideFlags or similar. My intent is to stop it (and its sprites) from coming up while searching in the Project/Inspector but still work as normal.

For a ScriptableObject, I was able to achieve this with HideFlags, but Textures don’t seem to respond to flags being set?

I’ve tried both on the texture itself and the TextureImporter.

textureImporter.hideFlags = HideFlags.Inspector | HideFlags.Hierarchy; Then SaveAndReimport().

texture2D.hideFlags = HideFlags.Inspector | HideFlags.Hierarchy; Then setting it dirty.

Neither of these work. Is there any way to do this? It’s driving me crazy I might even resort to putting it in an asset bundle or something.

Any ideas?
