Asset labels not available during AssetPostprocessor

I am implementing a small post processor. I don't want that all models are going to be modified by the post processor. That's why I would like to perform the operations only if the model has a certain asset label. But it seems that the labels can not be access during the post processing. Is that correct?

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEditor;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5.  
6. public class TestPostprocessor : AssetPostprocessor {
7.  
8.     protected void OnPostprocessModel (GameObject model) {
9.        
10.         Debug.Log ("Postprocess");
11.        
12.             // Empty asset path, so it is not yet an asset?
13.         Debug.Log ("Asset path: " + AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath (model));
14.  
15.         foreach (string label in AssetDatabase.GetLabels (model)) {
16.             Debug.Log (label);
17.         }
18.     }
19. }
20.  

 

To my knowledge, thats correct yes. They are for in-editor filtering only and cease to exist afterwards.

You would use naming schemes to do this kind of "filtering" similar on how you would do it for Import processors too

 

Thanks dreamora

 

I'm not sure if this changed since Dreamora's post however you can get the labels if you query the assetImporter

"AssetDatabase.GetLabels(assetImporter)"

I ran into this issue and found that the GameObject wasn't setup with the labels however the assetImporter was.

 

Worked as advertised. Thanks!
