| Status | ok = file exists · broken paths show as missing, etc. |
Right-click: show in Explorer / copy path, etc.
Replace…
- Select a row in the table
- Replace… → choose a new image file
- All slots that used that path update to the new path
For batch reconnect when folders/drives change (broken paths).
Rescan

Use after moving files or after Replace to verify state.
Collect Textures…
Use when handing off a project or cleaning up paths.

| Copy location | texture/ next to the .sls file |
| Rebind | Reconnect as relative paths |
| Originals | Not deleted (copies created) |
| Caution | Existing absolute-path links are broken |
Save the project first (.sls location is required to create texture/).
