Question by Pangamini · Jan 22, 2014 at 02:52 PM · monodevelopfolder

MonoDevelop creates *.pidb files in my ASSETS folder

I tried to install older unity in order to get older MonoDevelop (the one shipped with unity 4.3 is a bad joke, there's nothing working properly). Though it works, something strange is happening, MonoDevelop is now saving *.pidb files into my Assets folder instead of Project folder, which is really annoying. Any attempt to google the issue only redirected me to topics around version control... where can i change it back so these files are in project folder where they belong?

Btw the same thing is now happening even with the new MonoDevelop. I am not sure if it's in its settings, or in project settings (generated by unity)

Hi, did you find any solution about this? I did this exact same thing (upgrading Unity, be horrified at the new $$anonymous$$onoDevelop and reverting back to the previous one) and I have the exact same problem (pidb files in Assets, and nothing on Google about it)...

This isn't a "it belongs here", if anywhere was the most appropriate, it would be with the build assemblies. pidb are really just meta data files, some people choose to include them when they use version control, some don't. Every times you build this file may be rewritten, this is not a file that should be included with a release. Some programs use pdb/pidb files to create documentation, monodevelop uses it for autocomplete when your programming. This autocomplete may include the comments you documented during your implementation, you know that information that tells you/instructs you what a method does?

The problem is: it has ALWAYS been generated outside the Asset folder ; and now it doesn't anymore, which is annoying because it makes the Project view congested for nothing.
