Has anything about this changed at all since? Baking lightmaps still occasionally marks the entire project as private which makes all the changes done prior to baking lost since you need to undo the Assets folder change, and sometimes the whole assets folder disappears from the Unity project view (while the files are still in the actual folder and untouched...) and requires a full reimport... I've also noticed something in the project is changing the "current working path" while traversing through the project structure and sometimes creates new Library and Temp folders inside of the Assets (and sometimes an Error that crashes Unity that states that you cannot change the current working path)... It only happens when Unity is processing a large volume of files - like when baking lightmaps...

Can you provide a way to disable Plastic SCM in the Unity Editor without removing it from the project or the package list? The team is mixed and some people use Windows some Mac and some use Linux. The list of packages used in the project is synchronised so if one person removes the version control package it will be removed for everyone else which is unacceptable. In general the whole situation isn't nice to put it mildly because collab was working fine and we were forced off a fully supported solution to one that has massive issues on platforms that are now considered unsupported and do not receive official support when something is fundamentally wrong - I can get minor things like not being able to call plastic from the editor and some such while things are being ironed out and it's a transitional period, but having massive issues like Plastic marking the entire Assets folder as private when you save a scene/prefab or bake lightmaps and not receiving support for it is kind of a big deal for a product we're paying for through the Unity subscription and bought while our platforms were still supported.

Unity Version: 2020.3.22f1 Version Control plugin version: 1:15:18 Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS Hi! Since the move to Plastic our team has had a lot of different issues with plastic, but so far the most problematic one is that on occasion, at seemingly random times the entire Assets folder gets removed/becomes private and the person this happens to then has to either undo that change or worse (because undo doesn't always work), reimport the entire project while losing the changes they made. It has happened on occasion while baking lightmaps, editing/saving prefabs, working with timelines, saving scenes and always happens while Unity is processing/importing files. Disabling automatic refresh in the Unity plastic options has somewhat helped, but it can still happen at least once a day on some days. Some minor issues we have include Unity not detecting the installed Plastic SCM app, so the Launch Plastic SCM button in the Plastic SCM tab just opens the pop up asking us to install the cloud edition - which is already installed. We also get a ton of Temp and Library folders being created in our project, the Temp files sometimes contain a ADB-Refresh+Long number folder.

The problem has been fixed, for now, by adding the line: "com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json": "2.0.0" To manifest.json It was one of the dependencies in the project that was removed by the removal of collab. Once the errors in the projects resolved themselves the Plastic SCM window started working, using the latest version. It is interesting that this did not happen on Windows.

After the forced migration from collaborate to plastic (which we are very unhappy with as it happened in the middle of the week with zero warning from collaborate in Unity beforehand...) Two people in the team using Unity on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) have issues about a missing file in Unity: The window displays a similar error: Could not find a part of the path "/home/myUser/Projects/Unity/NameOfMyProject/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@10.7.0/-Textures/Packages/com.unity.collab-proxy/Editor/PlasticSCM/Assets/-Images/d_iconundo.png". However the path keeps changing after we press Reload. We tried changing to newer versions in the Unity Package Manager under Version Control, and the Plastic SCM window pops up for a second and then the error pops up again, the contents of the window disappear and we cannot use Plastic at all. This issue does not come up for people in the team on Windows. This is on Unity 2020.3.22f1 We start unity through the Unity Hub. We also tried downloading the Plastic SCM client directly, checking out the project from there and adding it to Unity Hub, but that generated issues with packages and a missing "Normcore" package.
