This sounds very useful. I assume it searches recursively in all subdirs,
right?
I always missed such a feature - it sucks not being able to move any file
any of your projects might use, or rename any directory in your entire tree,
just because of your blend files...

Though I would assume that if you already do it for images, you should also
do it for any external datatype, if you agree :) Fonts, other blend files,
etc...
