Question (symlinks) what does this error mean and how do I fix it??!?!

Happy Holidays everyone!! Unity is warning me that a png (copperchain) that I added might corrupt my game. I don't want this, what exactly is the issue in laidmens terms and how do I fix this.

 

Well you have saved a link right? Instead of an image? It’s a link to an image correct?

 

You're pointing to the .meta file, not the actual file.

 

whats a meta file?

 

is it related to this

 

It’s the save file of the import settings of your assets

 

Gets in the way a little bit for me sometimes
I have to write code to exclude it if I am working with assets kept in the project folder subject to import in editor.

 

ok thanks for the insight. helps a lot
