set certian UNITY preferences?

hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the default preferences for opening assets from within unity. Similar to how you can set your preferred script editor.
is this possible for other files? like 3D files? OBJ files? or textures?

thanks

Jethro.

I’m afraid that’s up to your operating system! Unity doesn’t handle that itself, it passes the responsibility on to the filesystem. Depending on your OS, there are different ways of doing this, but it all comes down to setting the default application for all the file-types.

The reason Unity allows you to pick your script editor like that, is because the console integration features are somewhat more involved than just ‘open a file’. Unity needs to be able to tell your script editor to go to a specific line, or highlight a specific error message.
