  This warning indicates that the application name parameter is null and there might be spaces in the executable path name. In this case, unless the executable name is "fully qualified," there is likely to be a security problem. A malicious user might insert a rogue executable with the same name earlier in the path. To correct this warning, you can specify the application name instead of passing null or if you do pass null for the application name, use quotation marks around the executable path.  
 
 ## Example  
- The following sample code generates this warning because the application name parameter is null, and the executable path name has a space in it; there is a risk that a different executable could be run because of the way the function parses spaces.

 3. Binary assets in a Unity project—such as textures or audio files—can take up a large amount of storage. Various source control systems like Git store a unique copy of a file for every change that is made, even if the change affects only a small portion of the file. This can cause the Git repository to become bloated. To address this, Unity developers often elect to add only final assets to their repository, and use a different means of keeping a working history of their assets, such as OneDrive, DropBox, or git-annex. This approach works because such assets typically don’t need to be versioned along with source code changes. Developers also typically set the project editor’s Asset Serialization Mode to Force Text to store scene files in text rather than binary format, which allows for merges in source control. For details, see [Editor Settings](http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-EditorManager.html) (Unity documentation).

 ## Building from the IDE
  When you create a project, default build configurations are defined for it, and a solution build configuration is assigned to it to provide context for builds. Solution configurations define how the projects in solution are built and deployed. Project configurations are a set of project properties that are unique for a platform and build type (for example, Release Win32). You can edit these default configurations, and you can create your own configurations. For more information, see [Introduction to the Project Designer](https://msdn.microsoft.com/898dd854-c98d-430c-ba1b-a913ce3c73d7) and [NIB How to: Modify Project Properties and Configuration Settings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/e7184bc5-2f2b-4b4f-aa9a-3ecfcbc48b67).
