A standalone project media collector for Nuke 15-17.

and save a collected script with relative media paths.
Features:
- Whole-script collection, including nodes inside groups.
- Unique-media size preview: duplicate sources count once.
- Image sequences using #### and printf frame padding.
- Common folder structure with shared collected paths for duplicate Read nodes.
- Optional ZIP packaging with ZIP64 support.
- Node-named text report and detailed JSON report.
- Progress and cancellation for scan, copy and ZIP stages.
- Original script file is preserved; collected script becomes active.
- No NP_Tools or external Python packages required.
Installation: copy the Np_collectFiles folder into .nuke and add
nuke.pluginAddPath('./Np_collectFiles') to init.py. Restart Nuke and open
Nuke > Np_collectFiles > Open Collector.
