Hi, I am really sorry if anything similiar issue post exist already!

Description:

My team and i decided to use perforce for source control and faced an annoying issue after starting using it. If you add a new *.uasset in the editor (e.g. create a new empty blueprint) and submit it to perforce via editor on machine 1 and want this change visible and added on machine 2 by doing a sync via editor, the new created BP won’t show up in the content browser until you restart your editor!

Reproduction:

1. Set up a perforce server and connect the editor to that perforce server on 2 different machines with different workspaces and users

2. Create new empty C++ project and submit it via perforce visual client, sync it on the machines and open the project

3. Machine 1: create a new folder, name it “Blueprints” and add a new empty blueprint

4. Machine 1: add and submit the blueprint to perforce via the editor

5. Machine 2: sync changes via editor

6. Machine 2: now the blueprint and folder won’t show up in the content browser! But, if you look on your harddrive you can actually see the newly added folder and blueprint *.uasset!

7. Machine 2: restart the editor and you can see the folder + blueprint
