@Alex-Vertax thanks so much for adding middle click enable toggle!

Is it possible to disable Inspector behaviour for UEE, or to improve compatibility with other editor enhacing tools?
I use another editor addon called Inspector Gadgets Pro which lets me expand any referenced asset or object. Unfortunately if I use UEE this functionality stops working.


With UEE:

Without UEE:

 

Yes, you can disable UEE inspector enhancements completely or partially.
In this case you need to disable Edit / Project Settings / Ultimate Editor Enhancer / Inspector / Nested Editors.

 

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to fix them. I tried turning off all of options in the Inspector category but it still clashes with Inspector Gadgets. I appreciate that compatibility with other addons is always going to be difficult.

For now on this project I've decided to remove UEE because I need that Inspector Gadgets feature, but I'll try again in a few weeks to find a workaround.

 

The patch is attached.
Apply the patch, open Edit / Project Settings / Player, in the Scripting Define Symbols block add "UEE_DISABLE_OBJECT_FIELD_DRAWER" and click Apply.

 

Ultimate Editor Enhancer v3.9 has been released.



One of the major new features of Ultimate Editor Enhancer is the ability to color the folder icons based on rules. This feature makes it easier for developers to quickly identify different types of folders in their project, saving them time and effort.



Another new feature is the ability to quickly create scripts and materials in the project window. This feature helps developers to create new scripts and materials in a more efficient manner, without having to navigate through multiple menus.



Perhaps the most exciting new feature, however, is the ability to move selected GameObjects to a point under the cursor by pressing the "C" key. This feature makes it incredibly easy to move objects precisely where they need to go, and it can be a real game-changer for developers who need to make quick adjustments to their game's environment.

Changelog:
[Collections] When a GameObject from a collection is selected in a scene, the entire collection will be selected first.
[Component Window, Row Enable] Added support for Undo.
[Context Menu] Added ability to breadcrumbs to select parents when multiple selections are made.
[Context Menu] Added ability to open GameObject in Properties window.
[Context Menu] Fixed an issue where some buttons wouldn't click.
[Duplicate Tool] Added the ability to create duplicates based on the rotation of the original object.
[Enum Field Search] The search box will not be used if at least one of the items contains a slash.
[Getting Started] Added ability to sort slides by version.
[Hierarchy Component Icons, Inspector Bar, Object Toolbar] Added ability to switch components on/off using the middle button.
[Hierarchy Component Icons] The style of the buttons has been changed.
[Inspector Bar] This is now also displayed in the Properties window if a GameObject is open there.
[New] Added the ability to quickly create scripts in the project window.
[New] Added the ability to quickly create materials in the project window.
[New] Added the ability to colour the folder icons based on rules.
[New] Added ability to move selected GameObjects to a point under the cursor by pressing C.

[Other] Added option to disable Object field Property Drawer using UEE_DISABLE_OBJECT_FIELD_DRAWER scripting define symbol.
[Pivot Tool] Fixed setting the pivot to the vertex.
[Project Create Folder] Added the option to select standard folder names when right-clicking.
[Runtime Save Components] Added option to automatically save the component when exiting Play Mode.
[Search] Fixed the caret position when opening a script search.
[View Gallery] Added option to set camera position from View State.

 

I use ucontext only to get icons in hierarchy. Which folder can i delete to only get that function?

 

Hi.
You can't delete folders, simply because the asset features are highly integrated with each other.
Deleting some script or folder in almost 100% chance will break the asset.
You just need to disable the features you don't use in the settings.

 

Ultimate Editor Enhancer v3.10 has been released.


One of the most significant new features in the latest version of Ultimate Editor Enhancer is the ability to search for serialized component fields.
This powerful new feature will save developers a great deal of time and effort by allowing them to quickly and easily locate the specific fields they need within a serialized component.


Another key feature of the new version is the ability to copy, paste, export, and import components as JSON.
This new functionality will allow developers to easily move components between projects, as well as share them with other developers or with the wider Unity community.


Finally, the latest version of Ultimate Editor Enhancer also includes the ability to work with notes at runtime.
This new feature will allow developers to add or edit notes to GameObject during runtime, allowing you to save your thoughts on the fly.

Note Manager has been added for easy management of notes in open scenes.


When you need to play a scene step by step, you can use the Stepper instead of manually pressing the Step button.
This automatically takes steps at specified intervals.

Could you add a feature like this https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-clipboard-copynpaste-multiple-components.377921/ .. .it's dead on newer Unity versions.. total disappointment can't work with Unity without it as it is essential to bringing back changes made in playmode back to various changed components after exiting playmode.. just think unity are braindead to still have not provided an adequate solution to this that I'm still relying on third party addons who's authors have moved on.

 

Hi. Thanks for the feature request.
I've added it to the worklist, and I'll try to implement it in future versions.

Also, UEE can already save runtime changes for the whole component or for individual fields.
So if you just need to save changes made by runtime, you can already do that.

I really just like the way copy clipboard works.. can copy components to it and have it opened for reference as a floating window

 

In the Project window, hover over the line that contains Audio. A button will be displayed that allows you to preview audio without selecting it or opening it in a third-party application.


When GameObjects have more than one child, click the "..." button and select "Sort By Name" to sort the children by name.

Note: If the GameObject name has numbers in it, they are sorted as numbers instead of a charcode. For example Box9 will be above Box10.


Out of the box, Unity Editor has two behaviors for collapsing Tree View elements:

• Left-clicking on the triangle collapses/expands the current element.
• ALT + left-clicking on the triangle collapses/expands the current element and child elements.

Ultimate Editor Enhancer adds new behavior:
Right-clicking on a triangle collapses child elements but not the current one.

This works for all Tree Views in the editor, including third-party assets.


When multiple GameObjects are selected, a block displays in Transform Editor to align and distribute GameObjects along the axes.

Click the button to create a material with Standard shader and set the texture to Albedo.


In most cases, GameObject / Frame Selected, Move To View, Align With View, Align View To Selected features are used for the camera, so Ultimate Editor Enhancer adds these actions to the Camera Component header for quick access.
