Merge UI vs getMAXFileObjectNames - merge groups using their names?

#1

Hi!

What I want is to merge a group(from external file) using its name. But there is a problem that can be seen in the video here:

With few words - when the getMAXFileObjectNames is used we can see only the names of all objects in the arbitrary scene. If there are a groups in this arbitrary file we see the names of those groups and there is no information which objects belongs to those groups. When the File-Merge is used in the Merge rollout we can see the names of the groups(without the names of the objects that belongs to those groups).

Is there are any maxscript command that will give me the same result as in the listbox in the Merge rollout?
Is it possible to merge groups using their names?

i would merge everything an delete all useless after that. because i don’t see any way to get scene hierarchy info by mxs without merging the file

Yes, I thought about this, but on large files this will be slow process.
Thank you for the information. I will stop searching other ways to get what I want.
