| **1** | **Extensions To Exclude** | If a file ends with an extension in the list, the file will not be included in the scan results |
| **2** | **Ignore Assets In Specifically Named Folders** | If an asset is in a folder with the same name as one in the list, then it is ignored. This is mainly used for ignoring special Unity folders like **`Resources`** or **`Plugins`** |
| **3** | **Exclude Specific Assets and Folders** | This is for specific files and folders that should not be included in the scan results. If a folder is in the list, all assets inside the folder and its subfolders are removed from the scan results, along with each asset’s dependency |

| **1** | **Dock Next To A Given Window Checkbox** | When this is enabled, the main Unused Assets Finder editor window will dock next to the first open window it finds |
| **2** | **Editor Windows to Dock Next To List** | This is a list where you can enter the names of another editor window for the Unused Assets Finder editor window to dock next to. The Unused Assets Finder editor window will attempt to dock next to the first item in the list if the window is open. If the editor window is not open, it will proceed to the next and so on until the list is exhausted at which point it will create an un-docked version of the window which you can then drag into the desired place
Built-in Unity editor windows have unique names and some of the most common ones are listed below:
- Inspector:
UnityEditor.InspectorWindow - Project:
UnityEditor.ProjectBrowser - Hierarchy:
UnityEditor.SceneHierarchyWindow - Scene:
UnityEditor.SceneView - Game:
UnityEditor.GameView - Console:
UnityEditor.ConsoleWindow

| **3** | **Add All Editor Windows Button** | If the editor window you desire to dock the plugin isn’t listed above, you can press this button to print a list of all built-in Unity editor window type names to the console and then you can add it to the list. Then you can simply delete the windows you do not want it to dock next to and leave just the ones you do and reorder them to suit your needs |
