I have seen people complain about all the "Open for edit" assets that result after downloding and installing .cdp files from third parties. I recently installed a rather large one and noticed the steps it apparently takes:
TAD Installer package <KUID#> Description
<KUID#> Opened for edit
<KUID#> wrote to disk
submitted <KUID#>
<KUID#> Installed.
That's not exactly it, but it is pretty close to the process as I observed it. The question I have is, why does the asset installer have to open each asset for editing in order to install it? Or, conversely, if it has to open it for editing, why is it not closed when submitted? Or maybe it is? I did notice a number of assets that instead of the "submitted" line had a line saying "<KUID#> Commit skipped", which may be when they get left open?
