Using older version is not good idea.
Instead you can use the API
Here you can find a ready script for renaming objects after merging (see the last example script)
https://3d-kstudio.com/faq-cat/maxscript-api/#api_for_asset_manager
Save it as file with extension “ms” and place to startup scripts

[Oleksandr Kramer]

The Project Manager is designed to maintain the original structure of objects during import, including their names. This behavior prevents changes to object names to ensure consistency across files.

However, when models containing multiple objects are imported using the drag-and-drop method, these objects are grouped together, and the group name is assigning by the file name.
This could explain why you’re seeing the previous names even after using Advanced File Renamer.

Thanks for your feedback – this issue is resolved

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Just use the option “Relocate Links”

Just don’t use the option to rename on hard drive.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Hi

Check options 2 and 3 of this answer

https://3d-kstudio.com/forum/project-manager-support/how-to-batch-a-folder-of-3ds-max-files/#post-42821

[Oleksandr Kramer]

At first, you can try to click right-mouse button after finishing placing or press the escape key.
It looks like you don’t finish placing.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Try to install/reinstall the latest updates for 3Ds Max
If this won’t help generate the support request.
You can find this option in the main 3ds max menu “Project Manager” ==> Create Support Request.
Also, please send a video of the process of merging.

You can do this on from the next methods
1) Just rename xRef files

• Open a scene with xRef-files
• Select xRef file and Rename it using the menu-item “Rename Link&File”



2) Rename xRef files using Mass-Rename Tool

• If the scene contains a few xRef files, you can also use Advanced Asset Rename tool
• Select xRef files
• Open Advanced Asset Rename tool using F2 or from menu Tools => Mass-Rename Tool
• Check Rename on Drive
• Print “materials.max” to Find field and  “materials-2024.max” to Replace field
• Press Apply button



3) Rename using Batch Relink tool (shipped with Project Manager)

• Add files that contain xRef scenes
• Turn on the option “Find&Replace”
• Print “\materials.max” to Find field and  “\materials-2024.max” to Replace field (I recommend to use slash before filename)
• Press START button
• Please note that this function doesn`t rename xRef files on drive, and you should do this manually

This feature currently is available in Project Manager.
Later it will be added to Materials Manager also.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Hi
As I understand, you want to rename a material library file?

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Using the last version, you can use the option “Search Directories Filter” with filter <filename>
This allows you to search textures in directories with the same name as 3ds max file.
The advantage will be given to folders with the same name as the 3Ds Max file.



1. Add files/directories with 3ds max files
2. Add directory or several to search textures
3. Turn on the “Relocate Links” option (optionally – use if previously you relink textures to incorrect path)
4. Open the dialog “Search Directories Filters”
5. Switch to “Include” and add <filename> to the list
6. Hit START button

Such models should be merged using one from methods, described here
https://3d-kstudio.com/support/faq/#10728

• Merge using double-click on 3D file
• Merge using the menu-item “Merge with default 3Ds Max Dialog” from the right-click menu “Merge”
• Hold the SHIFT key when dragging a model.

And this article also might be useful, I hope: Merge and Manage 3D Models using Project Manager

This is a path where assets will be stored.
To change assets filename, use the tab “Asset Tracking” on the Project Manager window

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Check if you turn on the option “Recursive subfolders” and add valid paths for search in
