Say hello to Auto Image Scrapper (AiS) — a simple, effective cleanup tool designed for Blender 4.3+ and created specifically to fix a common problem we all face: broken image paths causing save errors.
If you've ever deleted textures before cleaning your Blender file, and now you get a wave of "Unable to pack file" errors when saving... this is for you. 🙌

Scan your project for unused or broken image paths
Disable fake users (auto-protected blocks)
Remove broken references safely
Let you save a clean file — error-free and clutter-free.
