So I arranged some of my models in a better directory structure since it’s growing, but did brake the routes in PM, I have successfully re-linked models and favorites structure in PM but I can’t find a better way to re-link object gallery images (3 per object). Is there a way for doing this in a batch or I need to manually re-link  745 times?

The tool for auto-assigning previews is almost ready and now in testing.
I’m going to release a new version with this capability within two weeks.

Awesome Thanks!

Wow! So the previews image no need to be in the same folder with model? Also, I see there is an improvement in file’s name identification?

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Exactly right. You will be able to search in directories above and nearest. Also you will have an ability to specify  masks for  directories and suffix for preview-files. Materials also are supported.

Version 3.08.15 with the ability to auto-assign previews now is available.
You can download it from the dashboard.
Auto-updater will be triggered in a few days if there’s no critical issue found.

Can Auto-assign Previews have capability to choose the level of sub/parent folder? Some libraries have folder structure like above. Maybe this will slowndown the re-linking process too much?

Thank you.

Thanks for your idea. I’ll think about realizing it.

Can you make a short video/document explaining how “Filename match” works? I’ve tried some tests but don’t really understand. Thank you!

[Oleksandr Kramer]

And again thanks for the idea.

Version 3.08.70 has the ability to specify the level for sub-directories and parent directories.

Hello, I’m impressive with your very quick update.

It would be great if you can give an instruction of the Auto-assign preview function. Let say I have a specific situation like this. I’ve tried many ways but nothing work. How do I set up the values correctly? Thank you!

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Again thanks for your idea!

This capability added to new version 3.08.78

In your case, you should choose the option “Ignore Suffix for Material/Model Filename”.

You can use settings such as the picture below or type <Vray> instead <letters>.

For example, this will allow assigning the preview with the name “file.jpg” to “file_Vray.max” and something like.
