[Feedback] Content browser deselects on close

Hello,

I’ve noticed if you select an asset in the content browser then close it, the asset is no longer selected. This can make working with limited screen space challenging. I’m not sure if this is intended behaviour or a bug.

Thanks!

Hi Christopher,

What you are describing is intended behavior. After closing out a content browser, the editor does not see the previously selected asset as being the active selection. This is because it could cause errors with having multiple content browsers. There is a feature request for being able to drag a selected asset and have the content browser move behind the other windows. Would that feature resolve the workflow issue that you are having? If not, I would be happy to create a new feature request for you.

Thank you,

Alexander

Hi Alex,

The content browser moving behind windows would solve the issue, it’s mostly when placing meshes when it becomes problematic.

Thanks for the speedy response!
