Content management tips

Been a while but one of the old issues that was bugging me again was seeing what Assets Stride actually has loaded at runtime so the below should help. You just need a reference to the games IContentManager/ContentManager.

reading available assets

easier method of seeing what Stride has loaded for a game at runtime

(Content as ContentManager).FileProvider.ListFiles("", "*", Stride.Core.IO.VirtualSearchOption.AllDirectories);

Root directory: Empty string for root directory
Search pattern: * for anything (Should follow regex logic)
VirtualSearchOption: Recursive(AllDirectories) or ignore folders(TopDirectoryOnly)

adding assets to the db

You will need a reference to the ContentManager which should be the only one ever registered to a Stride game so casting should be safe if you have the IContentManager reference instead.
