Motivation
Unity Pickers are part of our toolset for Pathfinder: Kingmaker production. They are addressing following issues:
- Drag-and-dropping into object fields from Project View becomes less convenient as project grows. Searching for specific object is tiresome.
- Default object selection window doesn't show folder structure and doesn't allow to filter by folder names. It is crucial to make full use of folders structure when you have many files.
- Default object selection window becomes incredibly slow on large projects.
- ObjectPicker API is clumsy :)
- Default enum selection popup lacks filtering by value names.
- Our component system and visual scripting tools need control for type selection (similar to 'Add Component' for Game Objects).
