Supercopier 5 Unity Install
Feature proposal: "SuperCopier 5 Unity Install"
Security and Privacy: Is SuperCopier 5 Safe?
Yes.
- No telemetry: SC5 phones home to exactly zero servers.
- Open source: You can audit the code on GitHub.
- No file uploads: All copying stays local or to your mounted network drives.
The only “risk” is the false-positive virus flag due to shell extension hooking. Submit the file to Microsoft as a false positive if it annoys you. supercopier 5 unity install
Implementation outline
- Detection
- Parse Unity Hub manifests and common install paths to enumerate versions.
- Installation (Editor Extension mode)
- Generate a Unity package (unitypackage or UPM package) that includes a small Editor script hooking into AssetPostprocessor or AssetDatabase operations to call a local SuperCopier service/CLI for heavy copy/move tasks.
- Use Unity's Package Manager or install via Assets → Import Package for stand-alone installs.
- Installation (External Hook mode)
- On Windows: create a wrapper for copy operations used by Unity build scripts or register SuperCopier CLI in PATH and optionally replace copy.exe equivalents for project folders.
- On macOS/Linux: install a symlinked wrapper in /usr/local/bin or use a filesystem-level tool (launchd/systemd user service) to intercept calls for specific project directories.
- Safety & rollback
- Wrap copy operations in transactions, keep temp copies and metadata to revert on failure; provide checksum verification.
- UI/UX
- SuperCopier settings page with detected Unity installs, install/uninstall buttons, mode selector, and per-project overrides.
- Security
- Sign installers where possible; document required permissions; avoid modifying Unity internals beyond supported extension points.
Step 2: Run the Installer
- Right-click installer → Run as Administrator.
- Accept UAC prompt.
- Choose language (English/French).
- Accept license (GPL for most forks).
- Installation Directory: Default
