re: I'd love to see an asset collector do one fundamental thing

I wrote a script for yourself basically. Now I have no desire to add features that I do not use. Script open source, you can change it by yourself.

I'd love to see an asset collector do one fundamental thing

Please create an option where all assets are put where they supposed to be in the project folder of the currently selected project.

I want all the image files in assets/images

all the mental ray MIB files (and their associated BMP files) in the render assets folder etc.

Am I the only one who uses proper project structures?
