Database not updated when an asset is renamed

[rhys-vdw]

Firstly, thank you for this amazing project, it has become an important part of our workflow.

Our team has reported that references are not updated when an asset is renamed.

To reproduce:

1. Open curator window
2. Select asset A that references asset B
3. Rename asset B to "C"
4. Observe that neither B nor C appear in A' references
5. Select asset C and observe that A no longer appears in its "referencers"

Rebuilding the project fixes this problem.

This also applies to assets that are moved.

This is coming up a fair bit in my team, so I'm happy to schedule a fix. Are you open to a PR @ogxd?

Hi @rhys-vdw ! It is supposed to update when an asset is moved (and renamed I guess) but I'll check the reproduction steps when I have some time :) https://github.com/ogxd/project-curator/blob/5a5eb9a29570b6f59d117945552f5a4d4850c6b5/Editor/AssetProcessor.cs#L65

Yes feel free to make a PR if you think you know where the issue lies!

[rhys-vdw]

Good timing. I just started looking into it. I'll let you know how I go.

It seems a fundamental issue here is that your AssetInfo class stores a list of paths instead of asset GUIDs. Is there a reason why this is the case?

If AssetInfo stored GUIDs then there would be no need to handle the move case at all, because there is no change to references resulting in a file move.

Mhhh it has been a while since I wrote this, I don't recall the reasons for using a path instead of the Guid. I'll have a look at it! There are probably many improvements that could be done.

I'm very close to having finished refactoring it to use GUIDs, so you can check out the diff when it's done.
