Some Requests
Quote from Simon on 2025-March-18, 02:54Hi
Love the software, but for a long time i have wanted:
1 - the ability to MULTI -SELECT materials to do what i please (ie mass delete several materials) - you cannot do this at the moment.
2 - tagging - when you add a tag, it automatically puts you within the tag section which is unwanted. Lets say i just added a new library and i want to add various tags, each time i put a tag on, it changes the UI to the tag section when i just want to stay within the newly imported materials section (ie within the category/folde
Thats it for now i think

Thank you for your request.
We will be sure to take it into account and will try to implement it as soon as possible.

Quote from Simon on 2025-March-19, 00:57Thanks. & also, when you try and delete a category/folder, it wont let you if there are materials within it. It would be great if it would prompt you that there are materials in there and if you wanted to, you could delete its contents.

Quote from Simon on 2025-March-20, 02:16I have some more (sorry) - but i think all this will greatly improve the overall user experience.
- When adding a NEW material to the library - it would be great if there was a function to 'get image from VFB' to use as the preview.
- Dragging and dropping. Currently you cant drag and drop freely. For instance, if i want to drag and drop a material to a TAG. it doesn't do it. If you could freely drag and drop anything around the software that will be beneficial.
- when adding textures in the NEW textures section. it would be great if it could display the texture youve added

Some of your requests have already been implemented and will soon be in the new minor version."Dragging and dropping. Currently you cant drag and drop freely. For instance, if i want to drag and drop a material to a TAG. it doesn't do it. If you could freely drag and drop anything around the software that will be beneficial." - This is a bit tricky to implement at the moment, as the current architecture of the module will have to be changed. Therefore, it will probably be postponed to a later date when the module code is rewritten.
"when adding textures in the NEW textures section. it would be great if it could display the texture youve added" - I have slightly misunderstood the request here. Do you mean that a thumbnail would be generated immediately? This possibility already exists.

Quote from Simon on 2025-March-22, 02:10youre right, this does work - however i meant to say, when you add the texture, it automatically displays the map instead of prompting it to do so.It would also be great if you could assign this automatically to certain maps (ie diffuse or glossiness/bump etc) OR just drag and drop a map into a slot of the desired material if that makes sense. for isntance, i have a bunch of dirt maps, it would be great if you could allocate it to the glosiness map only of the selected material

This is also possible now by selecting the desired bitmap loader in Compact ME or Slate ME and loading the desired texture path directly into it. Compatible with Corona, V-Ray, Redshift and native 3ds Max Bitmap.

Quote from Simon on 2025-March-27, 00:22Thanks. great update. A few more.
Ability to delete folders that contain materials
Mass selections - it would be great if you could multi select using SHIFT instead of clicking on the small checkboxes individually
dragging and dropping materials to tags doesnt work?
check/check all - instead of right clicking - it would be good if it was a dedicate button in the UI next to RENDER PREVIEW button
