strange GUID files

News & General Discussion

I have been backing up my Unity projects by simply sending them to zip files.

I noticed during the zipping there are all these file names that seem to be GUIDs:

1892315--121823--what.png

Is this a Unity thing to have all that there?

Are these files necessary? It seems to spend a suspiciously large amount of time on these things,
and I don’t know what they are.

Thanks.

You’re sending the Library file to your zip compressor. That’s not strictly necessary. Don’t send the Library file if you want a faster compression.
