Old ShapesConfig script not removed on 3.0.0 install?

Using Unity 2020.2.4f; upgrade to 3.0.0 threw errors on compile due to existing ShapesConfig script from 2.3 - commenting out old ShapesConfig resolved compile errors. I guess it should have been removed on installing the 3.0.0 upgrade; Maybe something specific to my machine but wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the upgrade! Shapes has really improved the visuals of my prototype

sounds like a possible bug in how Unity handles upgrading assets, since it will work fine in fresh installs

I guess it's tricky for Unity to know what to replace and what to keep if a user has made changes to files that are included in an asset, not sure what the best way to handle this without lots of overhead work for me every time I want to rename/remove something

Makes sense - Maybe no one else will even encounter it.

I have the same issue. After updating to 3.0.0 I have a tone of ShapesConfig related errors, everything is not happy with the class being static. If I comment or delete, other scripts are not happy...

I am sure it's not really your fault and, like you said, unity's way of managing assets is a mess.

Do you have a clue on how I can solve this ? (I am afraid about loosing what I made with shapes if I clean the package then do a fresh install).

delete the old shapes config file (or all of Shapes) and reinstall/update. as long as your stuff was outside of Shapes folders then nothing should be lost

Thanks a lot. That did it, and everything stayed the way it was.
Bonkers asset. Thanks for the very quick response and also your learning content on youtube is very helpful. I wish you the best!
