Convert a source asset to godot resource?

toughbrook

If I drag a source asset to godot, it will 'import' it, having the source file correspond somehow to a new godot resource in .import. Is there any tool or editor options where I can use the godot import to convert the source file directly into that godot resource? Unless there's some caveat I haven't heard of yet, I want to have just "res://Graphics/image.stex" rather than "res://Graphics/image.png"->".import/image.stex". I know I can just grab the resource from .import and replace the source file with it, but I'd prefer a more convenient process if it's available.

Godot does not support this kind of destructive conversion anymore (the last version that did was 2.1). The reason is that this workflow easily led to loss of source files if you weren't being careful, on top of duplicating data stored in version control (unless you used a separate repository to host data sources).
