Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create externally and import a custom static mesh.
  2. In the source folder in Windows duplicate and rename the asset.
  3. Import the new asset.
  4. UEFN asks if you want to override the existing asset, even though the new one has a different name.
  5. To verify I changed the name to something completely different.
  6. UEFN still thinks it is the same asset!

Expected Result

UEFN should treat 2 assets with different names as different objects. No naming conflict should occur.

Observed Result

UEFN asks if you want to override the existing asset with the new one, even though the names are completely different. The only thing they have in common is that they come from the same folder and go into the same folder in the content browser.
