Setup Guide
Setup and install Game Creator 2 and one of the supported modules
Download and Smart Thumbnails from the package manager
Then you can Patch All editors
Updating Smart Thumbnails
When a new version of Smart Thumbnails is released, we recommend uninstalling the old version first.
How to Uninstall
Go to the Unity toolbar:
Game Creator > Uninstall > Smart Thumbnails
After uninstalling, you can safely install the latest version.
Patching Editors
When installing Smart Thumbnails, a window will appear that allows you to patch the editors of supported Game Creator modules so they can display Smart Thumbnails correctly.
Patching During Installation
After installing Smart Thumbnails, a setup window will appear listing all supported module editors. From this window you can:
Patch editors individually by selecting the specific modules you want to update.
Use Patch All to automatically patch every supported editor at once.
This ensures Smart Thumbnails integrates properly with those editors.
Patching Editors Later
If you skip this step or need to patch again later, you can reopen the patching tool at any time from the Unity toolbar:
Game Creator → Smart Thumbnails
When You Need to Patch Again
You may need to patch editors again if:
You reinstall a Game Creator module
You update a Game Creator module
Re-patching ensures Smart Thumbnails remains compatible with the latest version of the editors.
Project Window Layout Limitation
Smart Thumbnails only works when the Unity Project Window is using the Two Column layout with icon previews.
It does not work in the One Column (Tree View) layout.
