+Added `bpy.ops.file.make_paths_relative()` after remapping and before saving. The script will:
+
+1. Remap all texture paths to their new locations
+2. Convert all absolute paths to relative paths (for portability)
+3. Save the blend file
+
+This ensures blend files use relative paths, making them portable across different machines and folder structures.

+
+blendfile Kirk had absolute paths by accident. @pwsh (1-1075) can we have it so any image textures with absolute paths are remapped relative as well? ignore the nodetree and other paths from `\\Nexus\assets\BlenderAssets\Amazon\Char\Cartoon1\Cartoon1_006.blend`, those are vestigial.
