I noticed that if I exit this window it reverts back to sql light.

It seems there are some problems with the database settings.
Also, I didn’t test it with MySQL 9.3. So it also might be a reason for problem
Try closing 3ds max and deleting the database
Then open Project Manager and set MySQL as the database.
If that doesn’t help, send the logs files from the folder %localappdata%\Kstudio\data\logs

I can’t reproduce this issue.
So as possible this is related to your files or specific settings for Proxy.
Please send a few from files, that you tried to convert and attach a screenshot of your settings for Proxy

Please generate the support request.
You can find this option in the main 3ds max menu “Project Manager” ==>> Create Support Request.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

The error you’re seeing:

“.NET runtime exception: database disk image is malformed”

indicates that the local SQLite database used by Project Manager has become corrupted. This is a known SQLite error that usually occurs when the file is unexpectedly modified or accessed improperly.

> ✅ You do not need to reinstall Project Manager.

🛠 How to Fix It:

1. Launch 3ds Max, then go to Project Manager > Preferences > Database tab.

2. Click the “Restore Database” button.

This will rebuild the damaged database while preserving as much data as possible.

3. If you want to preserve a copy of the corrupted file for recovery:

Go to:

C:\Users\Lacesz\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2025 – 64bit\ENU\scripts\Kstudio\ProjectManager_3\

Rename any .db file (e.g. settings_corrupted.db) before restoring.

⚠ Possible Cause

One common cause of this error is trying to share a SQLite database across multiple computers simultaneously (e.g. placing the .db file on a network share or syncing it via Dropbox/OneDrive).

> SQLite is not designed for concurrent access from multiple machines – doing so can easily lead to corruption.

If you need to use a shared database across a team, we highly recommend switching to MySQL, which is supported in Project Manager and is specifically built for multi-user environments.

Thanks for the info.

I will check this and maybe ask for some files for testing.

Please check if you are using the latest updates for 3ds Max and VRay

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Download and install the latest version from the dashboard https://3d-kstudio.com/my-account/downloads/
If the problem occurs again, click the “Details” button and send text from the dialog to support@3d-kstudio.com

1. 
   Recommended MySQL version is 9.1.0, but you try to use 8.042
2. 
   As I understand, you want to use MySQL instead of a local SQLite, but you choose the option “Import from MySQL”. Maybe you should use option “Import from SQLite”. Of course, at first you should install MySQL 9.1.0

[Oleksandr Kramer]

This version is currently only available on the download page.
After testing, it will be available for auto-upgrading directly from the 3Ds Max

I understand you want to assign categories by dragging them onto assets?
Now you can drag resources onto categories.
P.S. I added filtering to the categories dialog. Good idea. Thanks!

This issue is related to the issue from your previous topic
https://3d-kstudio.com/forum/project-manager-support/tag-search-problam/#post-44840
Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention!
I will post an update that fixes this soon.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

You’re right, this is a bug. I’ll fix it with the next update. This occurs when you’re searching using only a category filter

[Oleksandr Kramer]

This allows you to assign color labels to items and filter them by color.
Color labels show as dots on the preview.
All new features will be described in the article about the new version
