I suppose this path translation type of thing would be done with a plug-in.
Would the translations also be done to the object files themselves that may
contain surface image maps?

With all the scene and object files I've downloaded or gotten off of various
CDs, I've been thinking of doing a standalone thing that would scan both
scene files and object files to correct the paths.  All objects and image
maps that weren't in the directory they were specified to be then be looked
for in the directory the scene file is in.  If not there, it'd scan
pre-determined paths for objects or images with that same name.  The scene
files are easy to correct.  The object files require IFF parsing, something
I haven't fiddled with yet.  :)

Now we have plug-ins in the future.  :)
