auto-compile being skipped every time

[gusdleon]

I'm having a issue importing assets since about a month, getting the error
The Asset system didn't catch asset quickly enough - skipping auto-compile for asset '{quixelAsset.Name}'

And getting a warning in the error list of sandbox (and visual studio) about the async task ImportFrom not having an await operator

I solved both problems inserting a await Task.Delay(500); below the line 44 of this file

sbox-quixel-bridge/code/BridgeImporter.cs

Lines 44 to 54 in 6533172

	// Locate imported s&box asset
	var engineAsset = Tools.AssetSystem.All.FirstOrDefault( x => x.Path.NormalizeFilename() == mdlPath.NormalizeFilename() );
	if ( engineAsset == null )
	{
	Log.Info( $"Asset system didn't catch asset quickly enough - skipping auto-compile for asset '{quixelAsset.Name}'" );
	}
	else
	{
	// Force a full compile
	engineAsset.Compile( true );

but didn't created a PR before because I don't feel that's the correct approach to that problem.

what do you think?

Yeah the s&box asset system propagates changes really slowly.. I don't think there's any events either for it unfortunately. It might be worth me asking for some and then just hooking this up to those.

Not having auto-compile isn't a huge deal right now so it's not worth hacking around.. assets will compile whenever they're needed, this is just a convenience thing for people importing lots of assets at once

Just found out "assetsystem.changes" exists while I was doing something completely unrelated, it's undocumented for whatever reason, I'll have a look into using that
