I would like to add color, and poly estimates to the entity selection icon page to support new items I wish to put in the store. Please take a look at the provided attachments and let me know what you think. Good or bad...

The question is, will this have a meaningful impact on memory. I am not suggesting this should be an addition to GG in general but would it be acceptable for my store items?

The poly count is included in the entity name

Interesting idea. Personally i would find it a little annoying to find the one i want because at a glance the names mean nothing to me, and with my dodgy eyes the icons all look the same. It wouldn't be too bad if it was a standard and all models were that way because people would know what it means, but with only a couple of people doing it customers aren't going to know what it means.

Poly count as well as texture size would be very nice to know on
ALL store items. Some are listed in the description- many are not.

Good suggestion. I think it works fine. Like Belidos mentioned,
the thumbnail is so tiny in the menu entity selector- but that's
what there is to work with.
Here's where issues might creep in later.....
When you go to search for a tree, particularly maybe if you use
something like AssetManager, these would not show up on a "tree"
search. Course I haven't used AM- correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S. the background/ "in-game" view looks much better.

Here are a couple of screenshot attachments that illustrate how the entity selection looks in "MAX" and in Classic.
In Max we get a larger view of the selection plus the poly count of the item in the name.

In the Classic editor view the poly count is shown as part of the entity name and the bottom of the screen.
(this would only apply to entities that I would have in the store) .
If I choose not to use color entity icons I will still include poly counts in the entity name. If the store will allow it
