Duplicating assets by Alt+Drag not working now

I need to be completely honest, this is not the first problem I had. So it is story time…

We were working a a project, around 20GB of data, and we had the need to sort a little bit the directory structure, so we did it from the Engine Content browser.

After a very long time moving assets we got a error message about not being able to move assets due to permissions. We ignored it since veryting seemed normal and working.

Next time we opened the project the engine was crashing when loading around 50%, so we figured out it was a asset problem of some sort since it was after moving those assets.

We isolated the assets causing the problem (they were in a particular directory) and the project loaded correctly.

BUT, right now the ALT+Drag feagure or the ALT+Rotate doesn’t work. It works with anything that is a blueprint (Per example we do have blueprints for the streelights) but doesn’t works for the assets alone.

Halp!

We were using directories with brackets [ ] and Unreal Engine does not likes them. That’s why we were not able to duplicate assets that were already on the scene.
