Material Lister For Mac
-
Hi,
Ive written a couple of posts about this trying to find a solution but I wonder if any developers might be able to help. Ive used SU on mac and PC and the material manager on mac seems much less user friendly and capable than the PC version. Im wondering if it would be possible and if any Ruby scripters would be interested in developing a plugin for mac that will enable us to view and select materials by their name. Currently its only possible to view a materials' name by hovering over its thumbnail in the material pallet (and waiting for several seconds for it to display). It also seems that the materials don't display in alphabetical order in this view so its quite hard to keep tract of them and find the one your are looking for.
Is a plugin with this kind of function even possible and is there anyone out there who would be able / interested in writing a ruby script. Ive downloaded several plugins to try to manage materials but none of them allow me to be able to view the materials in the file as a list and select them from the list. I know this is a big issue for a lot of Mac based SU users so would be a very popular plugin.
Any feedback or help with this very much appreciated.
Thanks
