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. 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.
|
||||
It is still possible to save a normal file with the `.asset.blend` extension. This will then not
|
||||
be treated as an asset system file, Blender knows the difference.
|
||||
|
||||
Asset system files have one more special characteristic: You can open, but not save them. The
|
||||
:ref:`Save As <bpy.ops.wm.save_as_mainfile>` operator can still be used to create a new file from
|
||||
them, which will then be just a normal blend-file. Thus contained assets cannot be edited without
|
||||
opening the file itself. Blender shows some clear warnings to communicate that asset system files
|
||||
cannot be changed and saved the normal way.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason these files are special is that the asset system might need to regenerate them. Any
|
||||
additional changes done by the user might be lost then. To prevent this data-loss, these files are
|
||||
protected from user modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, only brush assets support this feature.
