Resolved Update ProjectFolderWindow in Editor from code after adding Files via script

Hello Fellow Devs

Through a script I am creating some folders and images inside the SteamingAssets folder of my project. But the new folders/files are not showing when I click on the ProjectWindow in the Editor. It takes some time and reloading to import/show them.

Is there a way to trigger this import/reimport manually at the end of the script, so the new files are visible right away (after a short import progress bar)?

Thanks in advance, Mech

 

Pretty sure AssetDatabase.Refresh() should do the trick:
"Import any changed assets."

 

As @Baste said, that should do the trick.

A small optimization trick is to wrap the code that creates new assets in AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing() and AssetDatabase.StopAssetEditing() calls.

This makes sure that the new assets are being imported once as a batch, instead of one by one whenever each of them is created. For our uses it makes things much faster.
