Reset all texture compressions at once

Hi,
my scene has over 300 textures and are all set to "RGBA -> bit BC3 faster" in the texture compression.
Is there a way to reset all the compression modes to "Automatic"?
Right now I have to change them 1 by 1 because it doesn't allow batch changing. And I need to do this for 20 other scenes so it would take a long time.
Thanks

Select all image textures and change the compression from attribute manager.

Where exactly?
I select all my materials and don't see any option in the attribute manager.
Some materials are universal and some Glossy so they dont have the same settings (e.g albedo input) and I cant adjust settings all at once. If I select a
group of similar materials I still have to change the compression 1 by 1 in the attribute manager.

Right here, in
Materials > Octane Texture Manager:
Just select the files and adjust them all at once. For compression, click on the Automatic button...

This is not true.
1. You can select only textures with the same compression type
2. Even if you select textures with the same type you must click 50 times on "Automatic" type if you have selected 50 textures
3. You can do point 1 and 2 only if Cinema 4D will not crash because Manager is very slow and unstable when you have many textures.

Right for multi-selection. So we made a script to reset compression for all textures in all materials. Btw texture manager is not unstable, just making some calculation for accurate information.

Thank you very much. I know that making good plugin interaction with software is hard and some things can't be fully implemented but Texture Manager is the weaknest part.
