<![CDATA[Import to current scene from Watch folder]]>Hi there,

I would like to ask if it is possible to add objects, tags, materials, presets... to the watch folder in the asset browser? The only way is to save it like a C4D file to the watch folder (which works perfectly), but after double clicking on the asset, it opens as a new project. My intention is to import it into the current scene, not open it as a new project.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.

Yes, I can confirm from my own exploration that the Watch Folder does not have that option. I checked with any key combination I thought would make sense.

For now, I would copy the content from the new scene or use the merge node and go into the watch folder.

So far, I was told this (Watch Folder drag and drop option) is a current limitation and not intended. Sorry about that.

All the best

I just need to double click or drag and drop a scene from the Watch folder into a current scene (after double clicking or dragging and dropping from the Watch folder, the elements are opened as a new C4D project).

Is drag and drop not working for you?

Please have a look here:

Please let me know how it goes.
