Material browser suggestion - thumbnails.


Recommended Posts

At the moment the materials browser shows a list of material names, but only when clicking on each one do we see the editor image. It would be nice if each time we selected a category, we then saw a grid of thumbnails, like the texture browser, so we could see them all.

It would be possible to do, but it is important to note that loading all of the textures in a folder will result in a noticeable delay, in the same way that right-clicking and choosing the option to import all textures does. So if such a feature were added I think it would need to be optional (via a checkbox or something).

Wouldn't mind having this myself.

Would it have to load all the textures? I would suppose it would have to load only as few as could fit in the the window.

 

I agree that it ought to be optional, though.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
