Slow bulk import due to warning/notification spam

Hello I’m importing thousands of textures into Unreal Engine 4.27, the issue is that the engine warns me every single time it finds a normal map (“Texture XXX was imported as a normal map”). Since it is importing so often and so fast it is quite impossible to click the “Dismiss” on each warning, they pile up fast, skyrocketing the RAM usage of the editor and making everything slower. Not to mention it is also impossible to click the “pause” icon on the tiny “message log” window (it is above the warnings) because it gets shoved outside of my view by the warning spam below it.

Is there a way to disable this warning without recompiling the engine?

I am not sure if you can disable the message. I believe it is not possible to disable it. I suggest importing all but the normal maps, and then do them afterwards.

I don’t think it is very usual to import over a thousands of textures into the engine.

You can try this command, but I am not sure if it will help with the normal map warning:

Just type DisableAllScreenMessages inside the console.
Type EnableAllScreenMessages to revert the effect.
