As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to …
Manage dozens of images easily from the Asset Manager (or game explorer if not using the Beta feature) I have projects with a ton of images in them, and it can be a nightmare to sort through them easily. Having the ability to create folders and sort the images this way would make it a lot easier to go through a bunch of images at once.
This could also potentially allow for multiple images with the same name? As another problem is having multiple different images with the same name results in
Image
Image (1)
Image (2)
etc…
Which looks bad. For example, if I have a ‘Backing’ but multiple backings for different frames, I have to do
Shop Backing
Inventory Backing
Cash Backing
Settings Backing
etc…
And implementing folders could easily fix this issue, with something like so
Shop [Folder]
- Backing [Image]
Inventory [Folder]
- Backing [Image]
Cash [Folder]
- Backing [Image]
Settings [Folder]
- Backing [Image]
And then inside each individual could be assets that relate to that specific folder and use case.
And a simple change to how the image is referenced, from
rbxgameasset://Images/[Image]
to
rbxgameasset://Images/[Folder]/[Image]
Quick example of one of the games I’m working on and how crowded/unorganised it looks.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because…
Who doesn’t love organised projects?
