04/15/2024 3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets.

Comments
the path to the texture file
the path to the texture file doesn't matter, I just tried it with a simple path like "C:\test\", but it doesn't work except when using relative paths which I just figured out...
/Update: When I activate
/Update: When I activate "convert local files paths to relative" in the max preferences, the correct named files PLUS the "messed up" alphanumeric named textures appear in the maps folder.
Hi It looks very very
Hi
It looks very very strange.
Please tell me the full path to the texture file before copying and after.
Cryptic Texture File Names
When copying and pasting a scene material to a material library, the automacially copied texture file names (originally "filename.png") in the "maps" folder are messed up and look like this: {B99BDD98-C379-4575-897F-18663DC6F832}
I use Windows 7 64 bit and Max 2010 with the demo version of your script. Any ideas how to fix this? When I use the "Copy to" function in the asset files mode before by copying the files to the exact maps folder before and delete the textures and redo the copy/paste progress, the file names stay correct.
yes, it was a picture like

Share xml files
There are some difficulties to implement it.
For example, multiple users can simultaneously change the directory tree.
In the file will be written information from only one.
But in the future I will do it.
thanks. but there is no
thanks.
but there is no "automatic" way to share the xml files?
now the way to do it is: person1 is adding a new path to to his local library, then he has to copy his xml to the other C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 64bit\enu\Scripts\TrackScripts\ProjectManager manually?
best would be a *:ini file with all *.xml paths then you could add a network path and share it with others. like the plugin.ini in max!
can this be done in a next update? it would be very handy for us, I hope for others too. :)
thanks in advance
