Selecting Assets in the Project Folder

Hi,

Unity 4 had a cool feature where if you click on a mesh/texture/material in the Inspector, the thing will automatically be selected in the Project window. Unity 5 seems to be missing this feature or handles it differently.

Is it possible to get this feature in Unity 5?

It still works the same for me. (Latest patch version)

Still works for me too, though I found it doesn’t happen when the project window is hidden (like when you’re on a different tab of that pane)

Interesting, thanks. I’ll try a reinstall.

Actually, one more thing to keep in mind is that objects with transparency will still detect your mouse clicks even if you’re fully transparent. You could have a fully invisible quad and still be able to click to select it in the scene. If you can’t select something by clicking it in the scene view, maybe you have a transparent object blocking it.

Fixed it. Something went wrong with my preferences so I had to revert the editor to factory settings.
