Asset labels wont appear in unity 3.5
We were using a lot of labels for level design in unity 3.4 now we just changed to unity 3.5 and all our labels have disappeared. What happened to asset labels in unity 3.5?
I haven't used labels much, but in 3.4, I thought they were saved in the meta files (when meta files are enabled). Now in 3.5, that doesn't seem to be the case. $$anonymous$$aybe that's related to the problem you are seeing.
Hmm I tried modifying the project back to using meta files (ins$$anonymous$$d of asset server) and the asset labels still wont appear. or the plus sign to set them.

Ok I got it! labels wont show up if there is no icon associated to that asset class :). I assigned a blue background icon and all labels are back. Also you can still associate several labels to your assets the thing is you cant do it from the hierarchy tree, you must do it in the project tree only. (I dont remember if it was that way before)
Thanks everyone!

Hmm... seems like labels are working for me in 3.5 (viewing, adding, etc.), but I'm not at a good spot right now to check if they carry over from upgraded 3.4 projects.
Maybe try this:
Select an asset in your project
Look at the inspector
Does a bar labelled "Asset Labels" appear at the bottom of the inspector?
Apparently you can click this bar to collapse/expand the actual label information
I hope it's something so simple.
Barring that, maybe try with a new empty project. Could help narrow down the problem.
