Quick and dirty asset file generation

Add these functions somewhere and you can call this from the console or script to generate starting asset.taml files for your assets. You'll still have to customize them but this should save a ton of typing.

/// <summary>
/// Call this function to scan a folder for images or sound files and create 
/// asset files for them.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">The path to scan - "^Assets/data/images/".</param>
/// <param name="type">The asset type - "image" or "sound".</param>
/// <param name="category">The asset category.  If none, leave this blank.</param>
function makeAssetFiles(%path, %type, %category)
{
    switch$(%type)
    {
        case "image":
            %imageFile = findFirstFile(expandPath(%path @ "*.png"));
            while (%imageFile !$= "")
            {
                createAsset(%imageFile, %path, %type, %category);
                %imagefile = findNextFile(expandPath(%path @ "*.png"));
            }

        case "sound":
            %audioFile = findFirstFile(expandPath(%path @ "*.wav"));
            while (%audioFile !$= "")
            {
                createAsset(%audioFile, %path, %type, %category);
                %audioFile = findNextFile(expandPath(%path @ "*.wav"));
            }
    }
}

function createAsset(%file, %path, %type, %category)
{
    switch$(%type)
    {
        case "image":
            %asset = new ImageAsset();
            %asset.AssetName = fileBase(%file);
            %asset.AutoUnload = "0";
            %asset.ImageFile = %file;
            %asset.AssetCategory = %category;
            
        case "sound":
            %asset= new AudioAsset();
            %asset.AssetName = fileBase(%file);
            %asset.AutoUnload = "0";
            %asset.AudioFile = %file;
            %asset.AssetCategory = %category;
            
    }
    %assetFileName = expandPath(%path @ fileBase(%file) @ ".asset.taml");

    TamlWrite(%asset, %assetFileName);
}

Note that this does not register the new assets, it only makes the files. There are a number of ways you can register the new assets, either individually as you generate them (have to add that at the end of the createAsset() function) or by asking the AssetDatabase object to find them, or by reloading the module that contains them, or whatever.
