FilePathFinder Pro & Light versions
Using the FilePathFinder you can be sure that you have complete control over external links into your scenes.
Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.
Using the FilePathFinder (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.
In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.
Also with this tool, you can easily make an archive a 3ds Max scene.
Note that FilePathFinder supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in.
The Batch Render&Relink tool helps manage your asset files into the 3D model and material libraries in Batch Mode.
BR&R is capable of rendering thumbnails for 3D models, materials, and IES photometric files.
Batch Mode makes for an easy way to gather and compile many assets at once.
The new version of FilePathFinder is released with support to 3ds Max 2025

Alexander, OK. I thought
Alexander,
OK. I thought when you process 1 Max-file this Max-file is also backed up so you will have all assets in one location, ready for backup and/or transporting, if neccessary.

Thank you - will be fixed. :)

Backup max file - Quote from Help:
Creating the Back-up – before the operations of 3dsMax file processing, files are copied to the Backup folder along with the textures, or, if the textures can not be collected, to the project file folder.
In Incremental mode, the Backup folder’s name is added with the time when process of file’s operating has been started, for example “Backup_Th.15.5.2009.09h.50min.”
Please kindly note, the Backup folder is created only when several 3dsMax scenes are worked on in automatic mode.
Creation of backup folder is no purpose when working on single scene
(there are standard tools for such matters).

Alexander, Great! Looking
Alexander,
Great! Looking forward to that :) If you keep developing at this speed I don't need to work anymore ;)
Did you find out why Max backup does not work ?
And one very, very small thing: the first tab should be "search" instead of "searh" ;)

Alexander, I have been using
Alexander,
I have been using FPF on some fairly large projects now and I must say it's a very professional and solid utility. Especially showing the associated objects makes tracking errors and issues a breeze. It really tracks all used VRay assets without a hickup. Being able to collect all assets from my data disks and bring them over to my office/renderfarm and back makes those trivial tasks real fun. And of course listening to (and solving) my licensing "nagging" makes you my hero ;)
