Repath window

Lets you change an existing file path to point to a different location.

New path
The directory where Maya looks for files that are being repathed. You can enter a path manually, paste a path into the field, or click Browse to navigate to a new location. By default, New Path is initially set to Maya's current working directory. If you are preparing a scene for use by someone with a different directory structure or platform, you can path to non-existent files.
NoteTo repath a reference node, the target file must exist. Unlike other node types in the File Path Editor, you cannot repath references to non-existent files.
Search Subdirectories for Files
When on, Maya searches through sub-directories to the specified New Path until the first instance of the file is found.
Repath Currently Resolved Files
When on, Maya also attempts to repath any resolved files that are included in the selection.
