How to disable the new prefabs?

Hi i want to use latest unity version due to HDRP but i find the new prefabs to be time consuming and hard to work with, i don't care about nested prefabs whatsoever i didn't want them and probably will never use them as they only add problems for runtime serialization. I just want the normal prefabs back, how?

 

They are more time consuming when editing in the project view by quite a bit. I'd love to change that aspect but dragging them all out into project view for tweaking takes longer.

In my case I simply accept it take longer and hope the rest of it will save time for me, if I use it.

 

I do enjoy the new prefab structure but at times it would be nice to edit a whole group of the same without having to go into the prefab scene. So it would be cool to maybe have a hot key dependent on deactivating it with multiple prefabs of the same selected. Or just auto allow editing to all if multiple are selected.

 

Can you add Esc key to quit Prefab mode? I think it can speed up the workflow a lot. Currently I need to select that back button is very time consuming if you want to edit lots of prefabs.

 

You can start by implementing what that guy did:

DEFAULT behavior should have been the old behavior.

In the inspector, where the "apply changes" button would be (assuming you're looking in the Project window as opposed to Heirarchy) should be "Prefab Editor". It's even the same number of characters.

Easy to get to when you want it since it's at the top, easy to ignore when you don't.

The prefab editor was one of the things I was most looking forward too, and it's my single biggest hate at the moment.

I've got over 300 similar prefabs in my Resources folder and 99.9% of the time I either need to see what parameters one has (particularly if I'm searching for a specific one) or I need to see what monobehaviors I've set on it. The new workflow is absurdly disruptive.

Prefab Editor has been handy in the rare instances I've needed it, but the disruption isn't worth it.

 

yeah guys, this prefab system is wierd

 

no. just no. NOTHING is the same. Damn, i cant even enter play mode because of that awful forced prefab mode, im not allowed to edit prefabs anymore etc... Everything is awful about the edit mode. i cant nam a single decent thing what its good for.

 

Would be great to toggle it off. Big increase on time working with simple prefabs. Simple Prefabs... The Package..

 

it is a very poor and time taking system.. unity please add choice b/w new and old system.
