The browse to asset in content browser no longer works -> Big Regression

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

When you click on the browser icon it should take you to the location of the asset in my case the ui widgets. It does not anymore unless you replace with another and re add the original this is strange behavior and a sure regression. I just wanna point out that my island is very big and complex and this is gunna waste time now hunting for the assets. Luckily i use notes and folder everything :slight_smile:

@Flak

Can this please be looked at even without votes its a regression and an issue that is getting extremely annoying now. Its a issue with UEFN itself

7

I haven’t been able to find anyone else with this issue. If you see any others, please let me know.

I don’t know anyone who uses it apart from myself but that doesn’t mean its not worth looking into there is clearly some issue going on.

Same as the notes i always report issues with them and never see anyone else do so and i assume again its cos many creators don’t use the function.

I understand the 5 votes ect but when its an issue with uefn itself the vote system should not be included as not everyone will even use all of uefn features but again that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be fixed.

Ill ask about but this is frustrating for sure - The issue not the response

Do you have any specific fortnite prop’s that don’t work with this? Also just to be clear you’re reffering to the “Browse to Asset” button that can be found in the details panel of an actor and NOT the “Select Actors Using this Asset” button found on assets in the content drawer

10

I did a video above idk how more clear i can be :frowning: Its to do with widgets

I see what your saying

One sec ill snip

@Mineblo

I didnt think to check fortnite assets but as you can see my corn/fence work but fortnite ones dont

Something is wrong either with my uefn or in general i only noticed on the widgets tbh until you said that

11

Ahhh that’s because you are trying to retrieve the static mesh of the fortnite prop’s you don’t have access to them (except for some very few meshes).

Could you try right clicking the prop itself and pressing browse to asset from there?

12

The issue im having is with the widget locations not props ect albeit that is also now a issue

Your right click method works and it takes me to the fortnite props folder… to the prop.

I think i had to right click the menu before so yea your probs right

The main issue is my widget locations tho can you test that and confirm if it works for you

13

Yep I can confirm Pressing Browse to Asset on a UI Widget will only work if the asset was placed there in the same session, eg if I put a widget in and then press Browse To Asset it will work, but when I close and reopen uefn the button will again do nothing untill Either the same or another widget is re-applied

Thankyou for testing and confirming.

@Flak ^^^

idk if people don’t use all these features but they are so powerful to be efficient (unless they are broken)
