using UnityEditor;

class MyCustomSettingsProcessor : AssetPostprocessor
{
    const string k_MyCustomSettingsPath = "Resources/MyCustomSettings.asset";
    static void OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, string[] movedAssets, string[] movedFromAssetPaths)
    {
        var settingsTouched = importedAssets.Any(a => a.Contains(k_MyCustomSettingsPath));
        settingsTouched = settingsTouched || deletedAssets.Any(a => a.Contains(k_MyCustomSettingsPath));
        settingsTouched = settingsTouched || movedAssets.Any(a => a.Contains(k_MyCustomSettingsPath));
        settingsTouched = settingsTouched || movedFromAssetPaths.Any(a => a.Contains(k_MyCustomSettingsPath));

        if (settingsTouched)
        {
            // Notify the SettingsWindow that MyCustomSettings has been removed or added. This tells the SettingsWindow to Add/Remove
            // a new Settings section.
            SettingsService.NotifySettingsProviderChanged();
        }
    }
}
```
