Dependencies warning even though textures folder is present.

Hi,

When exporting through the Rhino plugin with the "Pack and go" feature, all textures are gathered in a folder called 'textures' besides the .mxs.

When I render these .mxs through the network monitor in batch mode, I get a "Missing File Dependencies"-warning telling me it can't find these textures.
The following files could not be found in the searching paths. The render will fail
Searching path 1: Original location of the texture.
Searching path 2: Scene folder:C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 2\
Searching path 3: Textures folder:Not specified

Missing files:
File:textures\studio015.hdr
File:textures\Map noise-rough texture.jpg
File:textures\salissure_mediumbump_tileable.jpg
Wouldn't it be good if it actually searched for any present 'textures'-folders?

Funny thing is, I ignore the warning and it all renders fine. What's with this?

Regards

- Björn

Funny it thinks the scene folder is the Maxwell install folder....it shows that for any scene you create? Even from Studio?

If I create a simple mxs with a cube and IBL in Studio, and then remove the reference to the IBL map and instead place it in a folder called textures at the same location as the MXS, it does not give me any warnings but render it fine.

hmm.
