AnyPortrait don't work if I move it to another folder

Hi!

First, let's tell about the characteristics of the Plugins folder.

Scripts in the "Plugins" folder have a different build phase from other scripts.

Scripts are not built simultaneously, but are built in one of four stages.

The order is 1. Firstpass, 2. Firstpass Editor, 3. Default, 4. Editor.

And this build order causes the following two characteristics:

- Scripts built in the previous phase cannot reference scripts in the later phase. The opposite is possible.

- Scripts in the Editor Phase are excluded because they are unnecessary when building the game package.

So if a script belongs to Firstpass and tries to reference another normal script that belongs to Default Phase, an error will occur.

The "folder name" is what distinguishes this build phase.

All scripts in "Assets/Plugins" are built in the "Firstpass" phase. However, scripts in "Editor" in the Plugins folder are included in the "Firstpass Editor" phase.

Scripts in the folder named "Editor" among other folders are built in the "Editor" phase.

All other scripts are built in the "Default" phase.

Fortunately, AnyPortrait does not directly reference external scripts right now, but if it references Unity's installable packages or other assets or scripts, an error is likely to occur.

This is not only an AnyPortrait issue, but also an issue with other assets.

So if you move scripts or libraries (cpp, dll, etc) from the Plugins folder to outside, you will get errors, and vice versa, there is no guarantee that errors will not occur.

For the Editor, it is a bit more flexible, but the rules must still be followed.

So if any asset package's files are located in the "Editor" or "Plugins" folder, or vice versa, you should never change their path.

More information about this can be found at the following link:

docs.unity3d.com

As a side note, when the Unity documentation mentions "Reserved for third-party plugins", it usually refers to already compiled libraries like "cpp, dll, def, h, jar", not C# Scripts.

Build order and paths can be quite sensitive in some cases, so caution is advised when changing the location of external scripts or libraries.

Next is the answer to the error log.

From our testing, the error probably occurs when the following sequence of events occurs:

(1) AnyPortrait Editor is docked.

(2) The game is launched, the Game View is focused, and AnyPortrait Editor is hidden as a tab.

(3) The game is closed and the AnyPortrait tab is re-selected and focused.

(4) The error log occurs.

Or maybe the error occurred through a similar process.

We noticed this error during testing after delivering the improved script to you, but we haven't found the cause yet.

It seems like the error is caused by the hidden editor not being initialized temporarily when it becomes focused, but we're not sure.

We believe this issue was caused by a similar process, as the Unity Editor API behaved strangely in Unmaximize before.

However, in our testing, the error log is a temporary reference issue and does not seem to have a significant impact on the editor's operation.

If the error does not affect your work, you can ignore it for now.

Thanks.
