sfernandez 2026-08-18 10:08 manager ~0012528	As the user mentioned, Auto Reimport configured by the plugin does not exclude any directories, so when creating a Studio project in the same (root) directory as the Unreal project, it includes monitoring all the non-content intermediate files and caches and such.
