I am writing files from my Assets folder to the device's internal memory using Assets.Open().

However, I do not want to write the file every time the application is run.

Only when the file has chanced since I last written it.

How can I view the asset's last modified date or some kind of hash so that I can rewrite the asset to file only when it has changed since the last build?

  • @Kasalwe the asset folder in visual studio refers to a real local directory and editing the files in that folder updates in the assets built into the application. Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 22:47
  • @Jason I don't want to read all the bytes of all the files since that would be extremely slow. Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 22:48
  • Then you probably need to store some metadata about when the file was last updated and/or which version, and update appropriately. Or even store a version # as part of the file name. There are a lot of ways to approach it but all will require some work Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 22:52
  • @Jason I'm looking to automate it. Not manually track all the files. Otherwise I can just rewrite them. Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 23:14
