nice tool
if you know how to use c# sdk it is possible to add custom action item right into the SME category (no need to make your own category). This will allow user to set any shortcut to execute it. I used spacebar to call similar popup :)

in addition to fuzzy I used capital letter search to narrow down results
i.e. input VRC -> VRayColor, VRayCompTex, VRayCurvature etc...

The key has already been used?

Hi,
I just bought the script - but when I try to activate it, it says key has already been used.
I can send you the receipt if you'd like

zarko · 2023-06-25

There was an issue with my internet connection - everything is ok now. In order to activate this script you need to have an active internet connnection

Hi There,

First of all thank you for sharing such a nice script, I am having issues when using this script, I got 3ds max freezes when entering Enter after I type the material/map I want. I only tested it with Fstorm render.
I also wanted to ask if is possible to type just the short word when searching for a material/map for example. vr dist ( and the script would understand that I want to find Vray Distance map)... this features is nicely integrated in houdini search node.

Thanks again for this script and I would really consider buying it or donate if you upgrade/fix the bugs/issues.

This was so needed in 3ds max I am happy to see this script
Keep up the good work

All the best,

Sounds like a fuzzy search, I'll back him up, the error on fstorm I need to go test
