Hey, guys!

This is my open-source script which allows you to import *.unitypackage into a specified folder.

If you often need to import third-party packages, it’s a good idea to place them under “Plugins” folder to avoid recompilation with your regular scripts to save yourself some time.

Some assets are incompatible with Plugins folder, so you might want to import them into “Third Party” folder in your project to avoid bloating project’s root anyways.

It’s really annoying Unity doesn’t have such functionality out-of-the-box, so I decided to make a simple script for that.

It is available on the GitHub:

And it’s available on Asset Store too:

All your suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are welcomed, as always!
P.S. pull requests are very welcomed too! :slight_smile:

Does this take care of the issue of hard-coded paths in assets as well? At one point, whenever I was importing an asset I’d manually move it after it finished importing. But I ran into too many assets with hard-coded paths. :frowning:

Definitely sounds interesting though. I may give it a play sometime this week if I get a few minutes to take a breath… lol

Thanks for sharing!

Hey, @BackwoodsGaming , thanks for your question and your interest!

No, it doesn’t touch imported files and not address issue with hardcoded paths.

Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to deal with it as paths may be constructed from different parts including non-static ones.

Actually, it’s a bad practice to use hardcoded paths and it should be addressed by assets devs themselves in first place, in ideal world.

BTW, I may add additional checks in future for the strictly top-level special folders which don’t work while nested.
