Parameters

assetOrMetaFilePaths Paths to Assets or their .meta files, relative to the project folder.
outNotEditablePaths Destination list of non-editable Asset paths.
statusQueryOptions Specifies how Unity should query the version control system. The default value is StatusQueryOptions.UseCachedIfPossible.

Returns

void Returns true if all files can be opened for editing.

Description

This is called by Unity when inspecting assets to determine if they can potentially be opened for editing.

This is called by Unity's own systems, but you can also call it if you are implementing your own Editor tools such as a custom version control integration.

class CustomAssetModificationProcessor : UnityEditor.AssetModificationProcessor { static bool CanOpenForEdit(string[] paths, List<string> outNotEditablePaths, StatusQueryOptions statusQueryOptions) { Debug.Log("CanOpenForEdit:"); foreach (var path in paths) Debug.Log(path); return true; } }

Parameters

assetOrMetaFilePath Path to the asset file or its .meta file on disk, relative to project folder.
message Returns a reason for the asset not being available for editing.

Returns

void True if the asset is considered available for editing by the selected version control system.

Description

This is called by Unity when inspecting an asset to determine if it can potentially be opened for editing.

Although this is called by Unity's own systems, you can also call it if you are implementing your own Editor tools such as a custom version control integration. Consider using method overload that accepts an array of file paths to improve version control system performance.
