Asset Management · Version 0.5

Moving and Renaming Assets

Preview and apply an asset move inside the project while updating supported JSON references atomically.

The Asset Browser can move or rename a selected file within the project’s assets directory. Filmstrip previews the destination and every supported reference update before committing the operation.

Move an asset safely

  1. Select an existing asset in Project Asset Browser.
  2. Enter a project-relative Destination inside assets/.
  3. Choose Preview Move.
  4. Review the source, destination, and dependency-owner changes.
  5. Choose Confirm Move only when the preview is correct.
  6. Refresh and verify that the destination asset and its references are valid.

The operation refuses

  • Destinations outside the project or outside assets/.
  • A destination that collides with an existing file.
  • Unsafe path traversal or unsupported path casing.
  • References that cannot be updated through their typed storage authority.
  • A partial file or JSON replacement that cannot complete atomically.

Rollback

Filmstrip stages the file and reference changes as one operation. If a required write fails, the move rolls back instead of leaving the file at one path while project JSON still points to another.
