Description

I'd love to be able to search my editor for specifically uncompressed textures. Oftentimes for a big project it's easy for me to lose track and accidentally not compress some of them. This has caused me some headaches recently.

I'm sure you know what the best syntax would be to work with your other systems, but here are some suggestions from my naive perspective:

  • search terms state: uncompressed
  • search terms
  • search terms, and then have a button next to the type filter dropdown, or included in that dropdown

If you have time to add this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the editor's existing search implementation and type-filter dropdown, then inspect how texture compression state is represented. Compare the proposed search syntaxes with the editor's current search conventions; done means users can reliably find uncompressed textures through the editor search.
