Built in Script Manager

Built in Script Manager

As 3DS users often use lots and lots of scripts for a wide variety of tasks a script manager would be very handy to track what's been installed....

Not only would it be useful for updating /sharing etc but sometimes easy to forget you have that awesome script that does that one particular thing you used last year etc.

 

It would be great to have:

  • An overview/tally system showing exactly what scripts & plugins are being used by a machine.
  • Be able to easily remove a script cleanly without having to dive through varied folders when its split between main installation and user profiles.
  • Update all scripts from a repository. (I'm sure some studios have their own way of doing things but it would nice to have a proper interface rather than running a .bat script etc.)

This is so very important. 3ds Max has such a massive catalog of script out there, yet it's the one tool that doesn't have some sort of  'External Script' browser and install feature, like BlackMagic Fusion, Sublime, Blender.

It would be amazing to be able to open a command panel, type in a title, tag or related search terms and any relevant scripts (installed/not installed/commercial/free) should pop up, ready to be installed/bought, with all the feautures Jixal mentioned.
