Relink Bitmaps
Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.
Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.
Features:
[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

Best,

Is there any way you can get
Is there any way you can get me a sample file that crashes (something relatively small)? If it does indeed crash it, I'll give you a free license of the script for your help. I'll send you an email regarding this now.

How can I select what I need if I cannot see the file name in a list?
I agree with the suggestion,
I agree with the suggestion, however it's quite easy to see the full path if you click on the missing map (or double-click), the script will paste the full path above the missing maps, allowing you to copy the full path.

Window "Missing Bitmaps" should be able to change size
I cannot use this script because I have long bitmap paths and window "Missing Bitmaps" is modal. So, I cannot see the full path.
