OutFiler file browser
Now it's free.
The OutFiler is a simple but powerful file browser inside 3dsmax that completely replaces standard save/load/save selected/merge/import/export dialogs. I believe folder tree much more comfortable and transparent.
The OutFilers provides the ability to quickly find the necessary folders, save the history of movements along them with back/next buttons and recent list and the favorite paths for quick access to working scenes.
It can save and load scenes and objects and many other features. You can even merge objects by layers. And script works with other supported formats such as FBH, OBJ and others.
You can also assign hotkeys for quick copy and paste objects to another 3dsmax scene or another 3dsmax window.
Features:
- save and load scenes
- save and load objects
- merge objects by layer
- copy and paste paths
- favorite paths
- recent paths and files
- assign operations to hotkeys
OutFiler performs operations in the background. You don't need to wait for the interface update.

Thank you
Thank you for your reply andrfil
This script is very simple to understand and I think it's better than the project manager. It's the best plugin for me.
Request if possible.
I wish I had a function to reset coordinates when pasting.
I'm glad I can import OBJ. Thumbnails need not be displayed.
Ideologically, the OutFiler
Ideologically, the OutFiler is not a simplified copy of the Project Manager. The meaning of the script is to provide quick access to scenes on disk without dialog boxes.
In a sense, OutFiler is a combination of Copitor and Copy/Paste Objects with a folder tree and a partial functionality of the Windows Explorer.
In any case, I did not focus on the Project Manager during the development process and the structure and functionality of the OutFiler are very different.
Hi! The texture transfer
Hi! The texture transfer feature will be added later.
Curious
I wonder if it'll become cheap version of "Project Manager" soon? hmmm.
I have a question.
Very good script! Should have bought earlier!
I have a question.
I want to embed a texture when saving with FBX.
I tried but couldn't.
Please tell me if there is an easy way to manage the texture of each file using this script.
