    as per live tutorial:
    http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/intermediate/live-training-archive/unity5-asset-bundles
    Mike Geig shows that its possible to build a bundle, from a folder with assets inside. For whatever reason however i cant really get that to work for me, the only way is to select the assets inside the folder and apply the assetbundle tag to them instead.

    The error it gives me is:!asset.IsFolderAsset ()

    Maybe this is something that change in 5.0.1f1?

    Anyone who can help/contribute, please do.

    Good to know...

    If you're trying to use bundles for variants(sd/hd) like me, i made simple script that has real world aplication and posted it in the orignial thread that started the discussion leading up to the live tut.
    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/working-multi-resolution-sprite-sheets.274683/page-2
    The script requires variants to be named sd and hd, i had a lot of trouble ot get it to work and had to find tons of answers on my own, but c'est la vie...

    Sounds a bug to me. Could you please try to open a bug with a repro project? I will try it locally as well.

    I'm using 5.0.2p4 and it's still broken. However building asset bundles from Sample project is fine.
