@eyecandy This is fix is ready, but it does contain breaking changes, so I have not put this in main yet.

Please let me know if you would like to roll this change out or if we are worried about the breaking changes (having to reset asset catalog on all assets, listed above) I can likely handle the issue using a bbatch script.

I am off Feburary 14th (tomorrow) so please feel free to ask @ZedDB to Squash Commit this PR if you would like to roll this out by updating add-ons. otherwise I will handle any feedback on Thursday Feburary 15th.

Sounds good to me. @TinyNick how is the owner of the set catalog defined right now. Would we only have to change the setting in the publish or in every working file? In case of the latter it would indeed be better to do this with a script.

☝️ Same sentiments and questions as Simon, once that's cleared up, this is fine by me.

@Mets @SimonThommes
Currently you will need to update this string in all working files, but I have decided there is a better way...

I am going to add a getter/setter for this value, so it will be pre-populated with whatever the current state of the asset is based on the blender_assets.cats.txt file. This way the behaviour will be; whatever asset catalog the published file is set to will be populated into the new string value. Bypassing the need for a script to update the value on all these files (and it's better behaviour IMO)

In that case you will only need to change the asset catalog if it catalog is wrong and to make this change you can do it from any of the working files. Once the asset catalog is changed and sync'd to publish it will update the blender_assets.cats.txt which will be reflected in the string property for all working files.

I'm not sure what the blender_assets.cats.txt has to do with this. Shouldn't that file just specify the general catalog hierarchy and their UUIDs? It doesn't have anything to do with the actual assets afaik, so we shouldn't have to touch it here.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Yes I take back that comment I had a brain fart, forgot that the actual asset files aren't listed in blender_assets.cats.txt otherwise this would be easy. but the first part of my comment still stands, that you will need to set this string in multiple files so it's better if it is done with a script before I roll this out. I will get to work on that script asap.

@SimonThommes @Mets @eyecandy

Do we have an opinion on which working files can change the asset catalog?

In the current step-up it can be changed by all task layer files but those changes are not sync'd so a change in working file A is reflected in publish but not in working file B.

Personally I think that should be changed. Would you guys prefer to have a single working file control this value, or have all working files share control of this value (assuming they are sync'd up some how)

since there is no 'main' working file and this should usually not change anyways, it would be acceptable to me if all files shared the ownership of this setting

Alright I have updated this PR, the Asset Catalog ID is now stored in the Task Layer JSON file, this way all task layers are in "sync" when changing this value. I have crawled all the asset files and was able to set this property on your behalf for all the assets that had a category set (which was about half of them). I have updated the task layer JSONs for those files in SVN revision.

Going forward you only need to set the asset catalog in one of the working files, and it will populate to the other working files automatically, and to publish when you Sync/Push.

Changes have been rolled out to your workstations.
