Changing properties of multiple sprite collections all at once

[JFBillingsley]

Suppose I have 45 sprite collections. Suppose also that I'd like to change the texture compression on all those sprite collections. Suppose, in addition, that I would not like to have to click a sprite collection, click "Open Editor", change the texture compression, and click "commit" 45 times. Suppose I've done this three times already and I've had about enough of it

FWIW I'm still using 1.92 because of reasons so maybe this is something that's been added in a newer version, but for my sanity, is there any way to make this easier? I looked into trying to script this in the editor but there doesn't seem to be a simple "Commit" method of sprite collections or anything like that.

Go into Debug Mode in the inspector, then you can change the compression for all selected sprite collections at once with the 'texture compression' drop-down without going into the sprite editor.

Debug mode is in the menu at the top right next to the lock icon.

edit: that probably won't commit the changes to the atlases themsevles, but you can just multi-select them and change them all at once as well.

I tried that before, but the problem is that it doesn't actually commit the change, so I still have to go into each collection in the editor and commit it manually.

As my ninja edit said, you just have to change the atlas texture compression don't you? Which you can do with multi-select.

[JFBillingsley]

I did THAT too but then any changes to the sprite collection changes the atlas texture's settings back to whatever's specified in the sprite collection, unless I change it so it's "user defined."

Of course changing them all to "user defined" requires opening them all one by one and AAAAAAAAH

[profanicus]

The first step should stop that happening since it changes the collection setting itself, and any subsequent 'Commits' update the atlas with the new setting. It works here but then I am not using 1.92 ...

Did you try 'save project' or restarting Unity after changing the collections in Debug mode? Or Rebuild Index?

[JFBillingsley]

....oh, that's true :Va I didn't think of doing both, haha.

Well I'll keep that in mind then! And hopefully I can update to 2.10 on the next project Thanks!

Yup, changing both will do the job
