Better management of missing images
Blender should actively ask the user to relink all missing files, and should tell the user that textures are missing before the user renders. I've had instances of 3-4 day renders that went to the trash because of missing image files...BTW Greg Zaal created a quick addon which helps with this, though doesn't solve the problem completely: adaptivesamples.com/2016/03/15/wip-add-manage-image-paths/

Bumping up against this issue and came here to see if anyone posted about it. YES - would be awesome if Blender could ask you where to find missing libraries, like NLE's or any Adobe software. Tell it where one file is and it automatically tries that folder for all the other linked files.
Blender has the ability to “Find Missing Files”, see:
<code>File -> External Data -> Find Missing Files</code>.
