Regression

Yes

Render Texture Depth Stencil Format displays enum values instead of human readable values

--

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project “IN-31025”
2. Select “New Render Texture” in the Project window

Expected result: The Depth Stencil Format is “At least 24 bits depth (with stencil)”
Actual result: The Depth Stencil Format is “D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT”

Reproducible with: 2021.2.0a19, 2021.3.18f1
Not reproducible with: 2021.2.0a18, 2020.3.45f1

Reproducible on: macOS 12.4 (Intel), Windows 10 (user’s)

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is in fact not a regression, but "As Designed".

    The affected versions received upgrades related to depth-stencil in RenderTextures. The "At least XYZ bits of depth" messaging is not always accurate for those anymore because the "At least" portion is wrapped into the "Enable Compatible Format" checkbox.

    For example, if I use "D24_UNORM" + enable "Enable Compatible Format", then we are indeed talking about "At least 24 bits of depth, no stencil". When "Enable Compatible Format" is disabled, then the human reading is: "Exactly 24 bits of depth, no stencil".

    For consistency, the naming scheme now matches the scheme used for the color formats as well. However: we are considering revisiting this in the future by offering more easily readable values somewhere next to the precise format name, as the latter can be used to look up information in the API docs while the former would help with readability "on the spot".
