yes, the material browser folder list is very jumpy at scrolling and a mess.
First, it's listing all Applications as Folders, and letting us open them?
Mac Applications are a special package type folders, we shouldn't be seeing them in here.
Next, why do we get to see empty folders?
The list seems to be doing pre filtering of file types, such as .txt files, etc. Yet, it still shows me the folders even if you can't open them because everything inside them has been filtered out. Other than more folders with nothing to see in them either.
Here we see some items it should be filtering out. (.frameworks)
I don't know how this list functions on Windows, but to me it seems to be an attempt at including a Windows like Explorer browser, yet I don't see a reason why. This list should not be showing me every folder on my computer. I believe it should be a list of my favorite MXM folders. Just show us where we WANT to browse our .mxm files, maybe with sub folders to help keep them organized. Nothing else. Those are the only thing I can open with it anyway...
If I wish to browse my computer for a place I haven't added to the list before, I can either click on the little folder button and find what I'm looking for there (and maybe add it to my favorites list on the left) or type in the path in the path field, if i'm the kind of person who likes typing things. (in my experience that would be more the programers way, not the artists)
Just a few of my thoughts for now.
I think you guys have done an amazing job with this software! So, for the record, I'm not attacking anyone. I am however, eager to see better more user friendly implementations of interfaces.
UI and UX has been a big part of my job for the past many years... But, I now find myself on a path to re-acquire 3D skills!
As Vizzini would say, "go back to the beginning."
