but a scroll down would reduce to 2 clics ;)
You can add a button to the top tool bar
The navigator can be launched from a button on the main toolbar. This means that you can navigate to a script in 3 clicks.
You can add the button to anywhere you like using:-
'customize user interface' > toolbars
Find the 'script navigator' action. The click and drag where it needs to go.
When I get a chance I'll add an .ico file to make it pretty

Scroll down menu
well, the more I use your navigator, the more I think it would be more convenient to have a scroll down menu in the main menu bar. because to launch a script, it needs 4 clicks with your navigator, which is more than the 3 clics of the classic script open menu.

They should be located in a
They should be located in a sub-folder of your 3dsMax user scripts directory Your user scripts directory is called Additional Scripts your 3dsMax system paths.
To locate this folder go to the menubar and chose:
... Customise > Configure System Paths > select the ‘System’ tab > ‘Additional Scripts’ path.
The Script Navigator path files are located in:
user scripts...\KenzorsScripts\common\Script Navigator Directories

where are the txt files??
I can't find the txt files generated by MSnavigator on my computer. where are they supposed to be saved?
a suggestion: let MSnavigator stay open after a script has been run.
thx

looking at bugs and new Features
Bugs
bug #1
I can't reproduce the Runtime error: replace end out of range : 77" bug exactly.
However there was a bug that prevents you from adding scripts outside of the userscripts directory.
I've made some changes to the way the script handles paths. This should fix the bug. I'm going to sink test it for a few days to make sure I haven't missed anything.
bug #2
"When i try to add another tab by pushing the"+", it s asks for a name, if i say"cancel" , it does cancel the tab creation. but if i input some characters into the box, "abcd" and hit cancel, it still creates the tab."
I hadn't noticed this before...but Because of the way the maxScript editText gui works. It might be a bit tricky to fix. I'm going to have a think.
I may have to add another to "ok" the new tab name.
Feature Requests:
#1 - Ability to move the scripts up/down for better observaiton/alphabetical changes or behavioural order.(just like adjusting priorities in a download manager)
I have generic script for the dotNet list box which should do this when I get a chance I'll see if I can hook it up.
cheers guys
