Asset System Files (`.asset.blend` Extention)
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
Some types of assets can be edited without having to open a blend-file inside of an asset library.
|
||||
Blender saves these assets to libraries in special files using the `.asset.blend` extension. They
|
||||
are entirely managed by Blender's asset system, and only contain a single asset and its
|
||||
dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
`.asset.blend` files may be deleted or overwritten by Blender's asset system at any time. Hence,
|
||||
saving changes to them is highly discouraged, as they can easily be lost. Attempting to save edits
|
||||
to such a file will spawn a warning popup, giving you the choice to use
|
||||
:ref:`Save As <bpy.ops.wm.save_as_mainfile>` to instead save the changes in a new, regular
|
||||
blend-file.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, only brush assets support this feature.

Design Limitations
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Blender is **not allowed to write to other blend-files** than the one you have currently open.
|
||||
This means that to edit an asset, you have to open its blend-file.
|
||||
Fortunately this is only a single click away, both in the Source List region of the Asset Browser
|

Blender is **not allowed to write to other blend-files** than the one you have currently open, or
|
||||
the special `.asset.blend` files explained above. This means that to edit an asset, you have to
|
||||
open its blend-file. Fortunately this is only a single click away, both in the Source List region of the Asset Browser
|
||||
and in the asset context menu.
|
||||
|
||||
This also means that **Blender does not copy assets into the asset library** for you.
|
||||
You are responsible for placing the blend-file with the asset in an asset library directory,
|
||||
and marking the asset as such. See :ref:`asset-pushing` for more on this topic.
