Material panel has list view as text unabled (OSX)

Sigh....

Maybe you could explain what a feature request really means ? Is it realistic to expect an improved material panel in the next 6 months for us pro-OSX users ?

I think there are enough SU-OSX render-users who wish for a more "pro" material panel.

If it is implemented, no doubt that it will be the same in the Pro and Free versions alike. So it's not a "Pro" feature request. As Thom is a Beta tester (andusing Mac, too), he may be bumping the idea in the official Feature Requests list (and yes, believe me, when they see that something is a major and reasonable requirement, they tend to listen - how on Earth do you think the back button came back in the component browser otherwise?)

Thom, I'm a bit confused, as you list yourself as an OSX user (in your details avatar)!
This is a very wise idea btw, Google. I too am getting confused with my big colo(u)rs palette list. Please add me to the petition to fix this.

If you do rework the material editor. Please, please, please make it stop opening up every time I activate the paintbucket. At least an option to do so. Even if it's a registry setting or other hidden tweak. Just let me not have to see that window pop up everytime.
...guess it's Material-editor rant time...
No, good point!
In fact can you engineer it so it behaves in the same way as the layers and component etc panels- ie a single click on the bar, closes the window- "Mac OS 9 windowshade", manner, just like the others (OS X and XP)? Because usually I have to pick the damn thing up and move it elsewhere, or simply just close it.

I have a old Mac Mini, from the first generation G4 type, which I use as a test machine for webdevelopment and ruby development. But I never use it for modelling work.

Francois - no software company in their right mind will commit to saying "we will do x in six months", because, well, you know why (he says, with a lawyer's pen jammed to the back of his head) . We have lists of feature requests, that come from many sources. For example, many of you voted on feature requests recently using Googe Moderator. That was helpful, and we thank you for the feedback. We listen to it. I wont give you the exact process of how we work through these things, but there is one.
Even great ideas don't always get implemented for many reasons that may be very subtle. It's a very good suggestion for multiple reason and I personally like it, but there are no promises.

Ok B, tx. I understand.
Thomthom , you might have a look at MXM reporter. He seems to have been able to make a panel rather easily.
