Please make sync moving files in the rider with the unity metafiles

[van800]

This feature is present in the MonoDevelop as separated plugin and in the VS by default.

Scripts linking drops from prefabs after moving files inside rider.

Hi @dukobpa3. Could you provide some more details, please? Is this the same as #56, renaming/moving linked .meta files?

[dukobpa3]

I think yes. It is duplicated tasks.
The magic is in the guid inside metafile. Linking to gameObject provided by this guid.

You should:

1. Rename both metafile and class to the same name (and move it to the same path if needed)
2. Keep guid and don't change it after moving|renaming classes|interfaces|other_files
3. Maybe something else like fix new path inside metafile, etc. But if you will keep name and guid - then Unity will fix it itself after reimporting this files.

We are using text serialization of metafiles in our projects and it seems like not big deal. But I don't know how it works with binary serialization(which enabled by default).

Metafiles are always text based (yaml), even when Asset Serialization is set to Force Binary
