Does this cause an issue? The key thing is that the guid is created, because that allows assets to be referenced in scenes, etc. and if that changes, those references can break.

We need to analyze the content of .meta file to distinguish whether the file is a directory, and i don't know what else i need to read from the .meta file in the future. I hope that the content of .meta file created by ReSharper same with that of Unity, if not, maybe offer a setting item to avoid ReSharper create .meta file.

Why are you reading the meta file to see if another path is a directory? Why not just call Directory.Exists()?

We need to read the content of .meta file created by Unity for the Standard Check in our workflow. The .meta file created by ReSharper dosen't contain infomation about asset data.
