    Hello everybody.

    As you may have noticed, exporting from Blender to Unity can be slow. A solution to this is to export to FBX manually, but doing this over and over isn't sane.
    A few months back I wrote a tiny Blender add-on that saves an FBX silently whenever saving a blend file. This is designed to play nicely with Unity projects, and with minimum configuration - in a typical case you just keep all your blend files in the same directory (with sub-dirs as wanted) and a little config file ensures that FBX files are mirrored to your Assets directory.
    And you keep full control over whatever export settings you want to use.
    Configuration is via a JSON file. For simple cases just dropping the JSON file in your unity project dir (NOT the Assets directory, the one above) will work.

    Over time this has been a huge time saver for me, let's hope someone will enjoy it too.
