v2.0.1

Changelog

v2.0.1

1. Repo Cleanup:
   • Removed stray .meta files that had been generated for README.md, CHANGELOG.md, and UPGRADING.md and accidentally committed.
   • Added a .gitignore entry (*.md.meta) so they don't get re-added if Unity regenerates them locally.

v2.0.0

1. No More Required Attribute:

   • Every non abstract ScriptableObject type in your project is now discovered automatically.
   • The [ScriptableObjectAttribute] still exists, but is now optional, used only to override the grouping path and/or display name.

2. Converted to a Package:

   • The repo root is now a proper Unity Package Manager (UPM) package (package.json at the top level, Runtime/Editor folders each with their own assembly definition).
   • Install via Window > Package Manager > Install package from git URL..., or from disk instead of cloning and dragging files into Assets/, or importing a .unitypackage.
   • Assembly definitions are Chromum.ScriptableObjectUtility.Runtime and Chromum.ScriptableObjectUtility.Editor.

3. Better Discovery & Filtering:

   • Fixed a bug where a type had to derive directly from ScriptableObject subclasses more than one level deep were silently rejected.
   • Excludes Editor/EditorWindow subclasses, which also technically derive from ScriptableObject.
   • By default only scans assemblies compiled from Assets/, keeping the list free of the hundreds of ScriptableObject types Unity's own bundled packages define. Any other assembly, or individual classes within it, can be re enabled from Preferences.
   • Each row's ⋮ options menu lets you hide a type from the list entirely.

4. New Features:

   • Search field filters the list live.
   • Undo support on asset creation.
   • Foldout expand/collapse state remembered per group across sessions.
   • "Edit Script" button per row opens the type's .cs file in your IDE.
   • "Show All Assets" browser: a per-type view listing every existing asset of that exact type, with a "Select In Project" button per asset and a back button to return to the tree.
   • Embedded, resizable inspector preview at the bottom of the window — click an asset in the browser to preview it without touching your actual Project selection or hijacking your real Inspector window.
   • Asset count per type (e.g. WeaponData (3)), togglable.
   • Configurable asset creation location: active Project folder, the folder with the most existing assets of that type, a fixed configured folder, or a folder-picker prompt every time.
   • New Preferences page (Edit > Preferences > Scriptable Object Utility): asset-creation mode, window behavior toggles, included assemblies/classes, hidden types, and a "Reset All Settings to Defaults" button.
   • Auto refreshes the list after Unity recompiles scripts.
   • Remembers your last search text and whether you were viewing the tree or a specific type's asset browser.

5. Fixes & Cleanup:

   • Full visual pass on the tool window: consistent styling, spacing, hover states, and a resizable split view.
