Thank you very much, right now i am quite happy how it works. only thing is the dialog box opens for each shader because its in the "changeshader" function wich repeats.
I d' like to have one gui-call at the start in the main function, but if i do that theni cant transport the "prefix" argument to the changeTexture(shader) function.
about the time investement i agree, but for this script was more an out of desperation approach in how cinema4d lacks in organizing textures, then a new grind in passion. the script helps me with a hack, to organize them on OS side, for team projects like for instance unity.
Best
