This FMOD patch will add a Swap button to [FMODUnity.EventRef] property which facilitates swapping Event Path with the more robust GUID.
Starting with version 1.1.0 I am also proud to announce that this version will add the capabilities of having GUID Workflow! The GUID of the event will be used automatically when you select/drag the event. To help workflow even more, when you click on the Search button beside the path entry field, the Event Browser will jump to the name of the event correctly.*
Swap button and GUID workflow patch has been tested and verified in FMOD 2.01.05 and 2.01.07 (Unity Verified)
NOTE: Starting from FMOD 2.01.09 you won't need this patch anymore if you set your Event Linkage to GUID! 😍

...a wild Swap Button appears!
