Adding assets to open project #14

Closed apoisonedgift closed 1 year ago

apoisonedgift commented 1 year ago

I noticed that if you try to add an asset via AMS to a project that is open, it simply won't work. The epic launcher allows you to do this and while I can understand why it might be disabled - there's nothing to notify you that is why it won't add. If you want to ensure people don't add assets to open projects I can understand and get behind that - but it'd be useful to have some feedback just saying "project is open, close the project and try again" or something because it took me a while to work out what the issue was haha

Strange, I don't have anything specifically blocking adding to a project that is open. I'll run some tests and see if I can figure out what isn't working...

I guess its possible that something else is stopping it but every time I try to add an asset it just does nothing when its open and it seems to then work fine if I close the project haha

@apoisonedgift - I just tested this on my Linux machine using Unreal 5.2 (with the Cropout sample project). I added a different asset and it showed up immediately in the content browser while the cropout sample was open.

Which version of Unreal
Windows or Linux
Anything else you can think of that might be unique?

Sorry for taking a few days to get back to you here... So it was happening in 5.0 and 5.2 (hadn't tried a project in 5.1) with multiple projects, on windows. Initially I noticed it with my own marketplace assets in trying to make tutorial content for them - but I tested with a number of other assets and saw the same behaviour. I can't really think of anything else that is unique as I tried multiple projects and multiple assets.

That said, I went to do some specific testing today in order to see if I could narrow it down to anything else and saw that you had released an update to 0.0.17 and since performing the update, I cannot recreate the behaviour so... idk if you changed something or it was a random bug that got fixed by upgrading or what but... at the moment, at least, I cannot recreate this issue. Success? haha
