Simple Path relinker application for maps, ies, hdri corona proxy and vrayproxy objects. Features are: path text replacing and copy functions. The two text fields below each section are for "original" and for "future" paths. $ stand for string. Use it to copy a map path of a selected map to the desired text field.

User interface for the maps section. Others look the same.

Working on it...Anyone can help?

Thanks for your comments guys. Actually I was thinking of doing that earlier, but didn't really know how sorting works in a listview. Is this the right post I should start along - http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-795426.html - or does anyone know of a better tutorial or thread that deals with the same issue?

Hi again, nice to see you update !

I am glad that it resolves HDRIs aswell , much apreciated here!

About your questions

i think 2nd and the third one has the upper hand in priority but i cant help but ask for an "overwrite" option for the files that are already there but modified/new.

currently, if the file is there, it just skips to the next bitmap and the bitmap or proxy remains obsolete.!

here my bug hunt begins :)

ps: i really began missing the autosorting of file paths from C:\ to Z:\

New Version Available - v.3.00

I have just uploaded a new version. It has a brand new ui, with all the different asset-types in one window. You can filter the content of the main window with the appropriate checkbox. Please note that you have to press the refresh button once you have changed the filters.
A new feature is that you can select the objects a map is on.
I think this new UI opened up a whole lot of new ways where the script could be developing to. I wanted to ask you guys which new feature would be the most useful? :) Possibilities are:
-file renaming
-map preview with a map replace option
-dropdown list of recently used paths
-organizing the list by pressing the elements in the first row of the table
