Unity project window favorites

Overall a quite useless feature in the Unity Project window

• only visible in 2 column layout
• can’t favorite assets, only folders (drag & drop) and proj-view searches (click the star⭐)
  view searches are different from Unity search searches

Unknowns

• unsure if committed to repo or local
• I read this is shared across projects?

alternatives¶

Unity search supports

• favoriting assets, but there’s no way to see your favorited assets.
• favoriting (=save) searches, you are able to see your saved searches on the side

many plugins do this
