4. Selected Only: Check this if you only want to fix specific objects (and their children).

Feature Guide

• Deep Search: The tool automatically searches inside Node Groups to find textures that are hidden deep in your material shading networks.

• Force Mode: Standard Blender tools fail if a file isn't found. This mode forces the path update, ensuring your file paths are correct for pipelines and render farms.

Troubleshooting

• "Extension not detected" Warning: If you see this warning during installation in newer Blender versions, you can safely ignore it. This add-on uses the standard installation method to ensure compatibility with all Blender versions (3.x and 4.x).
