Resources.LoadAll<T>(Path) loads everything...

I got myself a little shortcoming on Unity here...

I'm using http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.LoadAll.html

I found out it load EVERY object in the supplied path, even those that are not of the proper type. The method only returns the proper supplied type, but in background, all the wrong types are still loaded and initialized.

It's very bad for load time and memory consumption. Do I understand Unity is unable to know the types in a file without loading ALL of it? (no header)

Do I have an alternative?

 

Is it an issue only with the generic overload or also the overload that takes a Type?

 

Same behaviour with both method. In background, the generic one calls the non-generic and simply perform an array conversion.

I'm also worry this issue would plague the AssetBundle.LoadAll method.
