In the Content Browser there are icons for ***** unsaved, ? not in source control, + new, etc., but there are no icons on the Asset Tree. I know that uassets are not listed in the Tree, but it would be helpful to have a visual indication that there are changes within a folder or it’s subfolders, similar to how Tortoise SVN indicates folders with changes, but more informative. Since a folders may include multiple flags they would have to chain together. Perhaps one of a few Source Control icons / color codes on the folder itself, and a series of chained letter codes justified right of the folder name?
I’m trying to think of all states that would need to be visually indicated:
- unsaved
- up to date
- not up to date
- not in source control
- marked for add
- marked for delete
- checked out by me
- checkout by another user
- local changes conflicted with another user’s checkin (source control error catch)
Why? From my time in UE3 I’ve relied on these tree level icons to not only inform me what I need to save or where I need to perform source control actions, but also help me quickly navigate to the folders I’m actively working in.
