3 years ago Hello @furroy . Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, you can already do something like this by using Godot's .gdignore.
From the docs:
To prevent Godot from importing files contained in a specific folder, create an empty file called .gdignore in the folder (the leading . is required). https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/workflow/project_setup/project_organization.html
With that you should be able to create a "skip import" folder that will never be imported.
I have many aseprite files in my project, but sometimes they need to be exported in a special way. So either I enable the auto-import option and it breaks those files, or I leave it disabled and inevitably forget to re-import some files.
It would be super useful if there was some mechanism by which you could tell it which files to auto import and/or which to skip. Maybe by putting them in subfolders called "auto import" or "skip import" or any scheme really where I can set it up one time and not have to fuss with it after that.
