Is there sth wrong with recognizing & archive *.bip motion data?

https://imgur.com/VB9605M (A file format that missing from Asset Collect listing and management - *.bip)

Sometimes it archive full scene include *.bip files, sometimes it doesn't. Is there known reasons for this problem. Sometimes it doesn't even display (list) *.bip file inside asset list. Everything going well with standard build-in Asset Tracking of 3ds Max.

If you've spare time, I hope you'll look into this problem and make this script once again more useful and more complete than it is now. Thanks and have a nice day.

finalRender R3.6 support

Amazing script, thank you for your work.
Since i use finalRender R3.6 some maps (related to renderer) are still not collected. Could you please add support for fR? I am ready to assist with any MXS property of fR that you might need. Thank you very much.

Awesome Antomor!

Great works, man. Xref now works like a charm. Also setpath function works well for both master file and Xref files without even open and run script inside Xref files. Great. You manage to modify metadata of asset paths from outside in a free script (the function was documented and appears in pay-scripts but for free seem only your one here), awesome! Thanks again, Antomor.
