in the scene managers material browser, even when set to "list" long names never extend beyond the centerline of the window, and the text doesn't wrap. wrapping however wouldn't help much anyway in quickly spotting certain names in there.

it is still one of the few things i don't like so much about the current plugin.. dealing with many materials is tedious.

i have a naming convention to keep emitters, materials, sss and stuff seperated from each other, now the names get longer, and i can't see the ending in the browser.(imho list has the most eye-friendly overview)

it'd be great if we could create material groups/tabs etc.. to organize the scene better.
especially when importing textured people and such, material count can exploed into the hundereds, making it very time consuming to browse/find materials.

thanks!

Sorry, but I don't control that, it is a property of the standard windows list view used by the plugin. Of course it's always possible to write new controls from scratch (the material editor layers tree is custom, because nothing like that exists in the platform), but that's non-trivial and generally falls pretty low on the list of priorities.

i see,.. could you reveal the columns on top like in explorer?.. these can usually be resized to show more text.

I can check into it...I do not use the details view currently, not having written the custom painting code to support it.

thanks, that'd be great..

obviously i don't understand much about the underlying code fragments,.. juts as you mentioned "standard windows list" i thought there is still a chance
