Drag+Drop system recovered. I just save the resource to disk temporarily then execute a move action.

Only bad part about this is that ResourceSave only allows .res and .tres files. Will need to rename as well :(

OK I made a giant mistake xD when I handle the files in this way, I'm losing the whole import flow.... damn. And I thought I was clever.

Idea coming in: What if I use the cache, but just trigger a 'file system' level import request when you actually import? That would keep the current system (inclusive of icon previews), but create the proper import link and everything for the imported asset :o

@russmatney It has support for sounds 😀

@russmatney Thanks for checking it out! It's indeed deeply unstable as I continue working on it. Probably will be somewhat feature complete on Saturday (I will try to remember to tag you once I get a version that's usable).

Currently just fighting Godots import flow. I want to ensure that assets imported via GD Explorer have no snags compared to a more standard import.

@russmatney Whoa I just realized I didn't push in like a week. It really is further along. Still probably not worth checking out quite yet, but the project got much cleaner since you pulled it in :)

@mifuyne Welcome! You should post an introduction when you get a chance so people can get to know you.

@Kay They look so amazing!

I'm working on a digital asset manager right now, and you've just forced me to consider something: Importing an entire asset pack!

I've been thinking so far about importing individual assets, but with such a complete and coherent pack, you probably want to import the whole thing at once. Will need to think about this 😅

Decided to create a mini-profiler singleton, because you can't run the normal profiler inside of the editor. It works surprisingly well!

Well, I found where 44 of those seconds are going!

Deeply annoyed that my object based "FilePath" implementation (inspired by Path lib), is just too slow. Will switch everything to strings, and move all the operations into pure static methods.

Even more annoyed that checking whether a file/dir actually exists is SLOWWW in Godot. Will need to start caching that information somehow rather than querying it.

The end result will be way less clean, but I can't optimize my current implementation anymore.

@YoSoyFreeman sorry to bother, but are you aware that if you reply to yourself it forms a coherent chain (thread)?

If every toot is separate, then it's harder to actually see what you're talking about from a single message. Requires navigation to your profile and then scrolling your feed.

@alexandria I agree, although rust purists would argue it's not actually an implicit return. Nearly everything in rust is an expression, not statements.

I think this is clearer to see when you just throw some curlies into your program rather than pulling stuff into a function: the "value" of the expression is just there, no need to "return" anything (an explicit instruction).

Without such a feature, things like match statements would become overwhelmingly verbose.

@alexandria I meant something like this:

let y = {
let x = 3;
x + 1
};

"return x" would be a statement and would only make sense inside of a function while "x + 1" (without ;) is an expression, and thus defines the ""return"" (it's really just the value of) the outer expression.

@alexandria Functions are a series of statements (e.g, a; b; c;), followed by an optional expression at the end.

Function CALLS are expressions in the sense that they resolve to a value. That's usually the case in most programming languages though, and isn't what makes rust interesting

@alexandria No doubt! Hence why I said it's only purists who would preach to you about it being an expression and not an implicit return. But it's clearly an implicit return 😀
