Open / Relink

.
.

First idea was to Merge and Auto-Relink. This one is similar but to Open and Relink in the same moment.

This script can find and Relink new assets during Open process. All in background so you don't have to do anything.

Easy and fast. It search for missing assets in the closest folders to opened file.

How it works:
Lets say you want to open tree model from Z:/Models/Trees/Winter/Vray/Tree004.max

1. Script will open file.
2. And then -> auto-relink assets to paths (specified in Auto-Relink Settings)
3. DONE :)

Possible paths in Auto-Relink Settings:
.\ - means it will search in the same folder as the merged file
..\ - means it will step down one folder and search in there
..\..\ - means it will step 2 folders down and search in there
and so on with any number of ..\

D:\Models\_textures\$scene\
- '$scene' - will be replaced with merged filename (Lamp0001 etc)

And of course possible to just search in any path eg: D:\Models\_textures\Lamps\

Let me know If you have more ideas where to quick search for missing assets
