For saving space on the hard drive you can use standard windows ability.
i can not imagine another way

It probably to make.
But it will very strongly slow the folder opening.
and also
[ "scene_01.jpg" + "scene_01\scene_01.max" ] as item
Hello Track,
I have been testing and old PM version i have a suggestion that will make exploration much better than it is ...Not sure about its current state.
Project Manager should also treat [ folder\file.jpg+file.max ] as item.
example:(big image)
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file into viewport, check "Uninstall" and press button "Next" for uninstall.
Or manually delete CacheStart.mse from "scripts\startup\" directory and "ProjectManager" folder from "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu\scripts\TrackScripts\" directory.
The "Project Manager"does not make any changes to the scene, you can open the same scene as on a computer without "Project Manager" as with "Project Manager".
I'm scared
So it appears that once you build a scene with PM installed that scene is tide to PM.
I used the PM mzp to uninstall. My scene opened fine before uninstalling PM. But now I get an error looking for PM related things. Also the render freaks out.
-Can you TOTAL uninstall PM?
-Dose PM write to the .max scene file?
Thanks for any help.
