⚠️ Important: Starting with dev 5, all resource types will generate .uid files, making references path-agnostic. These files are editor-only but should be added to version control for proper data sync. We’d love your feedback on this change! #godot #godotengine godotengine.org/article/dev-...

need an option to turn .UID off

Genuine question: why would you want to turn it off?

Having a bunch of small files can be bad for partitions that use NTFS as a filesystem, as they round up in size; even if their data is less than a kilobyte. This causes project sizes to be inflated the more you have these tiny files lying around, and it gets worse the bigger your project is.

Yeah, it is. But since every Windows PC is forced to use it, it's technically a Windows problem.
