in the unity-list, could display which platforms are installed with it, like unityhub plans to

*image from unity roadmap video

** actually to make it nice, would require icons per platform.. text is bit too long: "PC|iOS|tvOS|Android|UWP|WebGL|Facebook|XBox|PSVita|PS4"

currently using:
this.gridRecent.ColumnWidthChanged += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumnEventHandler(this.gridRecent_ColumnWidthChanged);

could save once on exit instead

Currently only exact version works (5.6.1f1 project cannot be automatically opened with 5.6.2f1 or patch releases)

Should add option to upgrade project into next compatible version, for example:
5.6.1f1 project would open in 5.6.1p1 etc.

and if remove, both get removed?

*fixed for next build

would be nice to search recent projects, or atleast if press a-z keys,
it would select project with matching first letters (like in explorer can do)

*can already click column header to sort by name

Hi, great tool. IT would be nice to be able to specify multiple roots. For example I have some Unity installs in Program Files and some in Program Files x86, and also I have on Program Files in other drives (due to running out of space).
Thanks,

perhaps separate Custom / Tools or Debug tab,
with listbox where you can insert your own executable commands, like:
adb logcat -s Unity ActivityManager PackageManager dalvikvm DEBUG

currently we don't pass other command line arguments when launching project, only -projectPath is used:
https://github.com/unitycoder/UnityLauncher/blob/master/UnityLauncher/Form1.cs#L59-L71

could try to create the file if its missing, otherwise use current?
(but then if add new variables, they are missing from old config..)

Could be nice to have.. now have to go github, download, unzip manually..

• button to check for updates (and/or check at start)
• then later should have the app published with installer, so that can just install over the old version

if you have several folders with same project but different branches

in the unity list tab.

helps finding that recently installed version faster

crashes or tries to load backup scene from the project (shouldnt check if not launching project)

I've found some typing errors in strings in Form1.cs

I'm not so familiar with github yet, but I started a pull request and hope this works. :)

currently shows alert dialog with download/release notes/cancel - only

Can you please make the window resizeable.
Resizing the columns might also be a nice feature.

Thanks for this awesome tool.

Maybe I've overlooked something - but what I'm missing is something like a "re-scan for new projects" button. Currently, when I checkout a new project via svn (or the project is moved to another folder), that project isn't recognized automatically by the launcher. This is especially problematic if the projects needs a new Unity version I haven't installed yet (and don't know yet).

Would be great if you had the time to add something like that. Or give me a hint if the launcher can already do that? I've seen the refresh button for the Unity versions - something like that for the projects would be nice. :) (there should be room enough beside the huge search input)

edit: Ok, so there is a Refresh with F5. But it's not consistent as stated above, since you can refresh the Unity installations list both by F5 or that button. I only found out about the implemented F5 function by stumbling over the project overview here.

probably filename have changed etc.

*actually just need to add projectname.sln check, adding for next build..

Using the following technique:
https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/210224803-Can-I-restore-my-unsaved-scene-after-Unity-crash-

Add a checkbox in the settings for enabling the feature, and an edit box to specify the recovery name. Automate the entire procedure when a recovered scene has been detected, so the scene isn't permanently lost when re-launching the project.

Hello,
Would it be possible to add a button in UnityLauncher to open a Unity project we never opened before ? I have placed old projects back in my HDD and i always have to find the correct Unity version before I can open them with UnityLauncher.

could say launching unity..

instead "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\New Un...." could it be like "....or\Documents\New Unity Project 32"? if i have 2 same project names in differend locations its hard to tell which one is which.

Red -> Green color to show the Unity version is installed is not changed to green after you add your paths to Unity installs. You have to restart Unity Launcher for it to show in green.

at least with v1.19

oo.. because at compile time latest version was 1.18, and that is embedded to the build..
and then new release is added, becomes 1.19..

controls like grid need to stretch and buttons to be anchored and or stretching
also save window size to settings, and some minimum size limit

*taken from this request
#21

moves to wrong position if resize form

probably when there is no next version to pick

************** Exception Text **************
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Your web scraping didn't work for me on v5.6.0f3
instead of manual replaces on the html, try a regular expression:

https://pastebin.com/WKVMzE91

make it few pixels wider, the whole window also will be made just a bit wider

could auto-exit after launch (at least when some instance is already running)

I noticed it's only scanning the Unity 5.x registry folder so it would be nice to scan for these other ones too.

from project list

• select row
• click F2 to edit command line arguments
• press enter to set value
• it now selects next row..

if do "open with unitylauncher" in a folder that doesn't have projectversion.txt
add dialog to select which unity version should be used. (so can use it for creating new project too)

It could be nice to have an option to specify launch arguments for different projects.

An use case could be having both a Pro and Personal projects on one machine and have Unity run the latter with '-force-free' argument

At first, thank you very much for this useful tool!

One reproducible bug I found is an error message I get - every time I resize a column in the Projects tab.
I already commented this at the commit, but since I'm not sure if that's the right place, I'm adding it here as an issue, too:

"System.ArgumentNullException: Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein.

Hope this helps. I'm using the "4 Months To Go" Edition 20, whatever this means.

always need it few times a year.. (and inside unity you can only open editor.log directly, not view the prev.log)

suggested so far:

• command line arguments per project #4
• git branch name #26

this would be possible after window is resizable or by adding horizontal scrollbar under the grid list

unityhub is adding target platform / build target info and selector
not sure if id personally use that much.. but adding here as a note, probably can read it from project settings file.

*image from unity roadmap video

is there need for this feature?

i guess it would save few clicks from going to website and check
and could put release notes, download links to the list.

shouldnt open project, just unity

takes bit too long to startup on first run, probably due to doing work in startup/init..

founded this list of tips:
https://devcomponents.com/blog/?p=361

*first start takes around 8s on my pc (actually would be also related to amount of unity installations to scan..)

as previously it was supposed to be automatic selector, but now could just change it to sort normally (highest version on top, including patch releases, betas etc)
https://github.com/unitycoder/UnityLauncher/blob/master/UnityLauncher/Form1.cs#L1134-L1141

because list is taken from registry, could skip adding projectname from list if whole folder doesnt exists

probably selectedindex returns previously selected project, not the just inserted one

if you try to search with: 2
tab#2 is activated, since the hotkey checking is active in the form/tab

unity 4 versions not detected: https://i.imgur.com/qexOfBj.png

also why its called mining edition? i hope its not running bitcoin mining in background :D

also i checked unitys new official launcher but its horrible, there no search, half projects not visible, and a lot features missing. so keep it up this project!
