Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Objects with textures set using node wranglers Add Texture Setup will break when moved to another computer.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
When doing the Add Texture Setup (Ctrl+Shift+T) in Node Wrangler on a principled shader the Relative Path and Detect Sequences options are not visible. After setting one or more textures this way, saving the file, then moving it to another computer the textures will not be linked and the mesh will turn purple, so I assume it is making absolute paths by default.

I've attached a simple scene with two cubes, one has its BaseColor texture set using Node Wrangler, the other is manually set. I've tested this on a coworker's computer and the Node Wrangler cube's texture breaks but the manually set texture works. Node Wrangler Bug.zip
