SMES Upgrade / Development ?

Hi guys does anyone know if this script is still being maintained ?

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/smes-super-material-editor-swi...

I rely on it heavily for material navigation but it keeps erroring out on me when using VRay.
I've just lost my entire material category for my scene and receiving errors....
Slate just takes too long, SMES is so easy & fast to categorize and select and apply materials.
Is it possible to fix/improve this script ? I notice there has been no activity from the author for over 3 years and no response to requests.

thanks in advance.

Ok, then, can I ask what

Ok, then, can I ask what might be corrupting my scenes using this script ? Where is the information stored etc, I cannot stand using slate for this it adds far too much time to my workflow. This script was so easy to use, all my scene materials in categories in one window, I just select and hit the shortcut to apply material to object. Slate is an overconvoluted mess for this, great for complex materials but useless for good workflow. anyone ?

Reset / Merge Fixes the error, but I loose all my mats and categories, any ideas what might be causing the error in the first place ?
