FilePathFinder Pro & Light versions
Using the FilePathFinder you can be sure that you have complete control over external links into your scenes.
Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.
Using the FilePathFinder (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.
In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.
Also with this tool, you can easily make an archive a 3ds Max scene.
Note that FilePathFinder supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in.
The Batch Render&Relink tool helps manage your asset files into the 3D model and material libraries in Batch Mode.
BR&R is capable of rendering thumbnails for 3D models, materials, and IES photometric files.
Batch Mode makes for an easy way to gather and compile many assets at once.

I watched the video but it is
I watched the video but it is not clear to me what is going on there. What is actually being replaced? I have no idea what I'm looking at there :)
The find/replace function seems to do the trick. Is it possible to add a function so that you can just click on another bitmap to fill in the replace slot? Or maybe drag one from the thumbnails to the slot? It would save the manual retyping of the name every time you want to try quick iterative tests with different maps.
Several methods to replace the links

replace texture ?
So far the script seems great!
I seem to remember in one of the videos that it was possible to select a texture in FPF Pro and replace it with another one (which I supposed would replace all instances in the file?). I can't seem to do it - although there is a greyed-out option called "replace selection" in the right-click menu for all the textures in my current scene.
Is there a trick to enabling it, or am I just wrong about what it is for?
Thanks /b
