Switching platforms - should you back up your assets folder or use a separate one per platform
It seems like some assets get changed when switching platforms (say, webplayer to Android or iOS for example). Is it necessary to actually create a copy of the asset folder for each platform? Is there a way to consolidate all platforms in a single asset folder?
Why the downvote? Hopefully it's not just me that notices this, but the assets do change when the platform is switched, and the switch also takes some time if your project is huge and you're working on an old macbook pro.
No idea why you got downvoted but I voted you up to help.
Its not neccessary. I've worked on huge projects that have been switched between web and mobile and back again. The assets get re-imported as you switch platforms.
Having to manage multiple asset branches per platform would just increase your development time and management nightmares. (Although this is often done when asset optimisations targeted at a specific platform are performed).
So unless you have those target specific optimisations its probably more efficient to just make the switch now and again and go make a cup of coffee while you wait :)
