    I'm trying to create a ScriptableImporter to import some assets that are kept in the StreamingAssets folder. The importer works on the file type but fails to run at all on the streamed assets. Assets in the root project folder import correctly

    Is this by design? It would be great to caveat this in the docs if so as I assumed I had done something wrong for quite a while.

    Ah yes I've just tried to drop a prefab in there and that is just displayed as a blank file too, looks like I need to change my approach

    Yeah, assets in the StreamingAssets aren't really considered assets as far as I understand - they're just files.
