    Hi everyone,

    from AssetPostProcessors I know that you can perform their operations on certain folders. Now with Scriptedimporters in the mix, does this still work the same way, or different?
    How would you go about configuring your ScriptedImporter in special cases?

    I have a 
    ScriptedImporter
    that only operates on certain text files under a specific directory name. I use 
    UnityEditor.AssetModificationProcessor
    and 
    AssetPostProcessor
    to detect folder patterns in 
    OnWillMove/OnWillCreate/Preprocess
    events and set the correct override importers (via 
    AssetDatabaseExperimental.SetImporterOverride
    and 
    AssetDatabaseExperimental.ClearImporterOverride
    ).
