Earns its place in the scriptspot library because it hooks into the native file dialogs, so bookmarks live where you already work, and the Bookmark Manager keeps them tidy with alphabetical sorting and one-click cleanup of dead paths.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks enhances the default Open, Save, Import, Export, Merge, and Replace dialogs in 3ds Max. Rather than opening separate tools or browsing through folders repeatedly, your saved bookmarks appear directly inside these native dialogs. You can save and manage custom bookmarks either globally or per scene.
Global bookmarks store any folder for access at all times, across all scenes and file dialogs. Local bookmarks are scene-specific and saved directly in the .max file, so they are only available while that scene is open. A Current File Folder shortcut jumps to the folder where your currently opened .max file lives, straight from the file dialogs. You can also sort recently opened and pinned files by name or last accessed date.
The Bookmark Manager handles organization: rearrange bookmarks, sort them alphabetically, add or remove entries, and clear out all invalid (non-existent) bookmarks in one step. Global and local bookmarks display separately, invalid ones show in red, and a right-click opens any bookmark's folder in Windows File Explorer.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks is best for 3ds Max artists who move through the Open, Save, Import, Export, Merge, and Replace dialogs often and want quick bookmarks to their common folders.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks is completely free to download and use.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks is compatible with Autodesk 3ds Max 2020 through 2026, covering the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 releases. If you run a version within that range, the plugin fits into the native Open, Save, Import, Export, Merge, and Replace dialogs. For versions outside that list, check the developer's page for the latest details before installing, since compatibility beyond the stated range is not confirmed.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks places your saved folders directly inside the native Open, Save, Import, Export, Merge, and Replace dialogs in 3ds Max, so you do not need to open separate tools or browse through folders repeatedly. You can store folders as global bookmarks available across all scenes, or as local bookmarks saved inside the .max file and available only while that scene is open. A right-click on any bookmark opens its folder in Windows File Explorer.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks offers two bookmark types. Global bookmarks save any folder for access at all times, across every scene and file dialog. Local bookmarks are scene-specific and stored directly in the .max file, so they only appear when that scene is open. The plugin displays the two groups separately, marks invalid (non-existent) bookmarks in red, and includes a Bookmark Manager for rearranging, alphabetical sorting, and removing all invalid entries at once. A Current File Folder shortcut also reaches the folder of the currently open .max file.
miauu's Folder Bookmarks is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms, download details, and any updates, visit the developer's page. The plugin's most recent listed update is dated 10 November 2025 and it is marked as version 1.2, so checking the developer's page also confirms whether a newer build is available for your 3ds Max version before you install it.
