Welcome to the Enfusion Workbench - Resource Manager!

The Resource Manager is an integral part of the main "hub" of the Enfusion Workbench. The Resource Manager is its asset manager, which allows for importing, managing and editing assets and their related files. It’s also the place from which navigation to other tools or areas of Workbench can be done, as well as accessing project and Workbench options, build data, package, build project and more.

Interface

armareforger-resource-manager-main-view.gif

By default, Resource Manager welcomes you with 4 main sections:

1) Resource Browser - this window can be used to

2) Main Window - If there are not tabs opened, then Welcome Tab will be visible. When resource is opened, it will appear in this main window area in a tab.

3) Log Console - Window containing live updated logs from current session.

4) Window Menu - In top toolbar it is possible to access all available Editors , options, plugins and other things. More details can be found below

Beside that, in bottom right corner (5) you can info about version of the Workbench and to which backend (Production - Stable, Submission = Experimental version of the game) it is connected.

Resource Browser

Resource Browser is the main tool for navigating and managing game data, it can work with "local" data, packed data and both at the same time.

Default layout provides navigation through game data in two windows - one displays directories in tree layout and the other displays content (sub-directories and files) of the selected one.

There is a Search bar at the top left which has various filters and options available.

And lastly, over viewport, there are tabs with opened resources.

ⓘ
This section also applies to "Resource Browser 2" that is a simple copycat of this window.
