Folder System - Gaskellgames

The asset package 'GgCore' is required for this package to function. The GgCore package can be picked up for FREE by anyone with a valid Gaskellgames package licence. Note: The 100% GgCore discount will show AFTER you have purchased this package.


This package extends the Unity editor by adding in custom folder visuals in the scene hierarchy and project files. The package helps to organize your scene hierarchy with simple quality-of-life improvements. The included Folder Manager editor window streamlines the process of adding new folder icons. The package includes two main parts: custom folder icons in the project files and hierarchy folder component:


Project Folders:


To add new folder designs simply add a new texture (256x256) into the Textures folder of the Folder System files, and the texture will auto-apply to any folder of the same name.


Hierarchy Folders:


The folders in the hierarchy each have a component that allows you to edit the individual folder's style.


Two new menu items: "Create Folder" and "Create Folder Parent" have been added to both the gameobject menu and the right click menu to allow easy creation of folders both as a child or as a parent to existing gameobjects.


Additional Benefits:


Everything is editor only, so won't effect how your game runs in build!
