Dash 1.93 doesnt recognize the all FAB assets in the project
Here is an example from the project. The FAB assets is much more count in the content, while in the Dash Browser much less.

Dash reads from the temp folder that Epic uses when you add assets from fab to one of your UE projects actually. So maybe in this case this project was created and got its FAB assets before you got Dash with the FAB integration?🤔
Or do you mean that this was a problem that started now that you upgraded to Dash 1.9.0?
You can see the actual Dash version in the Dash main menu, the version in the UE plugins settings is another number hehe
Here is the version. It seems appear after upgrading
Got it, you can grab the official 1.9.0 version firstly and try that https://www.polygonflow.io/download-latest-dash
A newer assets appears in the browser. Old ones appears but not all.
Hmm, not sure if there is a way to re-read the data🤔 @Costantino - CTO can answer that tomorrow when he is awake
But in the meantime, could you try and add some missing asset again from FAB? Curious if that makes it popup
Yes, it is rewriting the old one and appears in the Dash browser
Alright good to know that at least🙌
Hello @andreyatneo , our Fab integration doesn't read the uassets that you have imported in your current unreal project, as it aims to provide an experience closer to the original megascan plugin, where your assets are part of a library that you have on your hard drive, accessible to every unreal project or every version. That's why we opted for not reading the uassets you currently have, as they are version specific and tied to the project, but instead we read the original cache from Fab.
Every time you download something from Fab, a version agnostic format is temporarily downloaded in their cache folder, we get this file and organize it for you in the Dash library, giving you permanent access to it.
If you don't see the assets you have in your project inside the Dash-Fab integration, it means that when you got these assets, the Dash library was not running, or didn't run before Fab removed the downloads.
Hope this helps in clarifying the workflow!
Hello @Costantino - CTO!
Thank you for clarification.
