Hi Guys,

Just a 'small' feature request here. I don't know how difficult it is to implement this but I hope it is easy.

When Octane has lost the path to the textures because I moved the directory for some reason, after I have told it where to look for the first image, please please, let Octane look for the the other images in that same directory instead of asking for every image to give the path.

I hope you guys can implement this feature

Cheers, Simon

For in between you could set a default path for textures in the preference > Default and Control.
There is also a setting for Relative Path, maybe this helps.

Cheers, mib.

It should work like this since beta 2.50.
