Member Enumeration Documentation

enum LoadingType

If you load a file into the pool you can specify the caching behaviour with one of these.

Enumerator
LoadAndCacheWeak	Loads the file, but does not increase the reference count. This results in the file being unloaded if the reference to it gets destroyed. If the file is already loaded, it just returns the reference.
LoadAndCacheStrong	Loads the file and increases the reference count to extend the lifetime of the cached data until the pool is destroyed or manually cleaned.
ForceReloadWeak	This will bypass the search in the pool and reloads the file no matter if it was loaded before.
ForceReloadStrong	reloads the file and increases it's reference count.
SkipPoolSearchWeak	skips the check if the file is already pooled.
SkipPoolSearchStrong	skips the search in the pool and increases the reference count
DontCreateNewEntry	this assumes the file is already in the pool and throws an assertion if it's not.
