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.

File explorer list scrolling hangs
Hello! Thanks for update! It seems we need make some tratments in file explorer code ! in 3ds max 2018 list of files hangs sometimes so i need restart script! I think it is due to long dirrectory name! Maybe there is another reason!
xref
Hi Andrfil,
I inserted an image of what I do in order to workaround this small issue. So I need to delete the Xref controller in order for me to copy the newly inserted xref from where it is now and not from it's origin point. And I need to delete the Xref material in order to modify the material for this specific scene.
thanks you for listening!
XRefs
Hi wezzard! Thanks for your feedback!
But I didn't quite understand your idea. What do you mean by 'merge the controller (and maybe material) by default'?
