UE5 Shell Extensions

Overview: This project is a place where I put useful shell extensions for UE5 projects.

Extensions

1. ClearCacheAndRebuild

Overview: Adds a context menu option to the right click on all UProject files. It will clear out binaries and intermediates folders of both the project and it's plugins. It then will regenerate project files. It automatically selects the version of the UProject; working with both binary releases and custom engines.

I have previously created a bat file that did the same thing as well as created a context menu item for a single project. If you need anything like that just give me a shout and I will help you out.
