How to select only meta file on Configure?

[TKura]

Hello.

How can I select a .meta file only on Configure?

When I select a file or a folder, .meta file is also selected automatically. But I want to select/unselect meta files only.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Sorry for the delay in response.

Can you please provide a little more context about why you want this granularity with meta files?

Thank you for your response.

OK. I will explain why I want to do that.

 

For example, let's say I have a workspace that looks like the image below. 

Then, when I want to change only "SubFolder1", I will select "SubFolder1".

In this case, "Folder1" is selected, but "Folder1.meta" is not selected. If I open the Unity project at this state, another "Floder1.meta" will created by Unity automatically. It conflicts with a existing "Folder1.meta" file when it is being checked in.

Because of this behavior, I have to manually delete the meta files to clean my workspace. If I can select/unselect only meta files, I will be able to avoid this problem.

That's why I'm asking to select only meta files.

Search box will allow you to find anything with .meta like this ->

Thank you for your advice. But that is not what I want to do.

What I want is to select only a meta file without selecting the original file.

- When you unselect everything in the pending changes and search .meta files and select the filtered items only, are they still selecting non .meta items?

Yes, they are still selecting. When I click a check box of a meta file on the serach window, non meta items are selected automatically.

The Version Control package (within Unity's Package Manager) can be configured to be used with a Gluon workspace. Does this provide the functionality you require? And if not, please let me know how we could make it better.
