Hello, i was able to take ahold of a old HDD from a desktop computer i used. Only thing that most of the projects are not packed. U still have all the required missing data but i can’t just copy the .blend files to my main computer and expect it to work. Any possible way i can pack all my blend’s, or at least copy all the required files into a folder? Like some automation tool?
In fact you can just “see” the paths in the blend file… i once tried this a little to move some files ( which actually wasn’t worth it… ) and i finally made not a sophisticated tool out of it:
I’m on linux…so… (maybe with some unix-tools on windows like for example https://www.cygwin.com )
zcat "$file" 2> /dev/null || cat "$file") \
| strings -a \
| sort \
| uniq \
| grep '[/|:\\]' \
| grep -v tmp \
| grep -Ei "\.{bmp|pi?ng|jpe?g|ta?r?ga|tiff?|pn?g?m|dds}"
Actually nowadays you have to determine if it is zstd … so zstdcat…
This said: if you have also copied the directories where the images are… then maybe File → External Data → Report/Find… can help…
( … no it wasn’t…
wasn’t there something similar)
