Stands out in the scriptspot library for extending the default recent files list with pinning, color-coded status for missing files, and open, merge, or XRef actions from a single menu.
miauu's PinMyFiles is a script for 3ds Max that lets you pin your most frequently used or important files for quick and easy access. It works alongside the default recent files list, adding options to pin, sort, open, and reveal files in File Explorer. Any file can be pinned to the list, and pinned files stay visible even after they drop out of the standard recent files list.
Files that no longer exist appear in a different color, and files that are deleted, renamed, or moved show up in red so you can tell they can't be opened. You can sort recently opened and pinned files by name or by last accessed date, and thumbnail previews are shown for both recent and pinned files.
A right-click context menu gives you options to open, merge, or XRef a file, including without dialogs for faster access. You can also open a file's containing folder from that menu or with the middle mouse button. The script supports 3ds Max 2020 through 2026 and is listed here as free.
miauu's PinMyFiles is best for 3ds Max users who want to keep frequently used or important files pinned for quick access, with sorting and direct open, merge, or XRef actions.
miauu's PinMyFiles is completely free to download and use.
miauu's PinMyFiles supports Autodesk 3ds Max 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, covering the 2020 to 2026 release range. If you run one of these versions, the script is built to work with your setup. For installations outside this range, check the developer's page for the latest details before installing, since the listed compatibility reflects version 1.1 as last updated on September 1, 2025.
miauu's PinMyFiles shows files that no longer exist in a different color, and files that are deleted, renamed, or moved appear in red. This tells you at a glance that those files can't be opened. Pinned files stay visible in the list even after they drop out of the default recent files list in 3ds Max, so entries you rely on remain in place rather than disappearing when the standard list rotates them out.
miauu's PinMyFiles adds a right-click context menu on any file with options to open, merge, or XRef it, and it can perform these actions without dialogs for faster access. The same menu lets you open the file's containing folder, which you can also do with the middle mouse button. Alongside these actions, the script offers thumbnail previews for recent and pinned files and lets you sort both lists by name or last accessed date.
miauu's PinMyFiles is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions on use, check the developer's page, since terms can change over time. The plugin comes from miauu, who develops scripts, tools, and plugins for 3ds Max, and you can find more information along with a demo video through the official portfolio page linked for this entry.
