It focuses on ContentDirectoryRoot.asset, SingleAudioClipLoadableReference.asset and LoadableAudioClipReference.asset so practically everything should remain the same with unrelated content added, but some indexes may change.\n\nNote: the test project was recently introduced, see 8984abaabdd1bc9315364cd05b3eb80912d76c3, this work is extending that it is a good reference of which files are involved.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/SkowronskiAndrew","@type":"Person","name":"SkowronskiAndrew"},"datePublished":"2026-07-14T18:03:57.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/97/UnityDataTools/issues/97"}
