Hi,

When selecting objects the assigned materials are not indicated anymore in the materials tab of the scene manager? Using 2.5.1

That is controlled by the plugin option Auto-select Materials.

No worries -- there are alot of (too many, imo) options in this plugin by now. Sorry that I couldn't migrate your old settings, but that is one of the reasons for moving to the new system:

1. user prefs are no longer hidden in a crazy folder
2. user prefs are no longer tied to the app version

So, what that means is that if you go to Documents\AppData\Roaming\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Rhino\Defaults, you will find files named UserPrefs.Rhino4.xml and UserPrefs.Rhino5.xml (if you use both versions) which hold all of your preferences. No longer will your preferences get reset every time you install a new SR or WIP build, as happened with the old system, and you can also copy these files to another machine to transfer your preferences there if that suits your purposes.

Well, i hardly ever look into the plugin options.. just take it as it comes mostly. That's why it is not my habit to first look for changes there. Guess that proves your opinion. Thanks anyhow for another great plugin improvement (saving from Fire). I'll keep my prefs now.
