Does the Sprite Packer pack unused sprites?

    I couldn't find this in the docs immediately. I bet it doesn't, but can anyone confirm this?

    I was just searching for the same answer, but from what I see it does pack all sprites, also the unreferenced ones.
    It would be great tho if it wouldn't, that would save us a lot of hassle of keeping out sprite folders clean ourselves.

    Yes, it would pack all sprites that are set. This is because Sprites can be dynamically loaded through Asset Bundles, Resources etc.. and it would be impossible to infer its usage/reference.

    I would suggest using SpriteAtlas that provides several ways of usage like Late-Binding etc.. and check if it suits the need.
