Why does the "Save Assets" dialog pop up everytime

I'm not sure if this is a "feature" of Unity 3.2 but I don't remember getting this dialog everytime I save the current Scene before. Even if I don't change anything and just hit <ctrl>S or File - Save Scene the Save Assets dialog pops up saying "Unity is about to save the following modified files.... " and then it lists the current scene file "<scene name>.unity" in the list box.

On top of that Unity loses focus after clicking any of the three buttons (Close, Don't Save or Save All). Apparently focus doesn't return back to Unity from this dialog.

I'm tempted to go back to 3.1. Is anyone seeing this?

 

I've never seen that in 3.2, not sure what would cause that.

Ok, that's good feedback. Must be something related to my system.

 

Go to Preferences and turn off verify saving assets.

 

Duuude! You rock! That was it. <snaps face> what a newbie I am!

Thanks both for your fast input.

Unity 3.2 which I recently installed must have had that preference selected by default.
OR
I checked it by accident.

 

Nah, doesn't make you a newbie, AFAIK it's new to 3.2 and you're probably like me and check out preferences/options as soon as you've installed something new and clicked it because it sounded beneficial. Which it is, but it can become annoying too by triggering quite often.

 

Actually I am a newbie because I only started last week with Unity.
Been following many video tuts over at 3DBuzz.

 

Haha I did this by accident as well just now. Thank you!

 

Perfect reply to my google search, thanks!

 

7 years later, still helpful.

 

Thanks a lot

 

9 years later still helpful.

 

This actually fixes the Build and Run failures I get in 2019.4.2f1

With verify assets turned on, the Save Assets dialog comes up for ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset. Because this dialog comes up my build fails with an unity exception :

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEditor.ContainerWindow.NotDockedWindowID () (at <2cbbf8f8c622459ca9fa64194b7b6e6e>:0)

UnityEditor.AssetSaveDialog.ShowWindow (System.String[] inAssets, System.String[]& assetsThatShouldBeSaved) (at <2cbbf8f8c62245

Other exceptions also come up about null reference, and the actual build and run failure. None of these exceptions/erros are legit things that need fixing in my game. I do the instructions on this forum - turn off the validation of assets, the dialog doesnt pop up, and the build succeeds !!

 

10 years later and still very good thread, it solves the problem of (Save Asset) annoying window every time I save to Unity.

I repeat for the keywords to be useful to others.

 

In Unity 2020.3.22f1 LTS version that enabled this feature automatically and that had been crashed my every Unity projects for the months. After disabling that projects do not crash at the moment. Thank you for your answer that still works in 2022.

 

Let it be known that for all time this simple trick solves many problems of Unity. The issue of saving assets appears also when you are wanting to install the OpenXR plugin for VR related things in Unity version 2020.3.19f1. This needs to be fixed so that it automatically turns off when you install these plugins that update assets because it literally immobilises the project if you get caught out.

 

In unity 2021, it moved to asset pipeline option..
