• Warning appears on top of the screen if you use tool for a prefab that already has procedural Animation
• Fixed Bug: When animating backwards the animation would follow the graph but it would repeat the curve between the first 2 curve points.

Bugs/Possible Bugs/Other Notes:
• If you use this tool on an animated prefab in the asset folder and overwrite the prefab you are working on unity can crash.
• If you use this tool on an animated prefab in the asset folder and create a new prefab the animation can glitch.
• My material is Pink after I create Prefabs? – This should never happen, if it does manually reapply your ProceduralMaterial on your object and everything should work again.
• My material is completely black/white - This should never happen, if it does reset the material (Right click material in inspector view > reset).
• The tool is blank! - Select a Procedural material and then select the tool window. If that does not work restart unity or the current scene.
• In rare cases the Reset button on the tool will not work - try selecting a second object, then the first and try again. if that doesn’t work try setting the value to minimum/maximum and then press reset. If all else fails restart the tool or exit/enter playmode again. The tool saves the material when the tool is first opened in play mode or a material is selected for the first time in play mode.
• If your XML file is somehow corrupt (0kb file) and you try to read it unity will give you an error saying something like "XmlException: Document element did not appear. Line 1, position 1". If you read a Xml file that is not corrupt after that without restarting the tool your material might look blurry - To fix this, as soon as you read a corrupt xml file restart the tool and read a file that is not corrupt.
• If a prefab in the scene has any errors or missing data try right clicking the PrefabProperties script and select ‘Revert to prefab’
• For v2.5 - The animation curve values/keys are not supposed to be manipulated in the editor curve window. Only the tangents are supposed to be manipulated
• Unity 2017.1 might crash when displaying dialog boxes after a lon period of time. I noticed this was fixed in 2017.1.1p4
