1.6 - Material editor won't launch from plugin.

From the Maxwell Material Panel, click on 'Create MXM' - nothing happens. Also, if a Maxwell MXM material is in the material slot, clicking on 'Edit' does not launch material editor.

This is the same problem as not being able to start Maxwell after the export. For the fix use the patch:

Hi Pavol,
For some odd reason the patch did not fix the problem on my system. But, as I stated in this thread:
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... hp?t=26218 I was able to get it working after another reinstall.
Thanks.

You may need to restart the machine after applying the patch - that is most likely the reason it didn't worked out right away.
From the technical point of view - path to Maxwell executables was not set properly by Maxwell1.6 install. Path fixed that but system environment variables sometimes do not update properly until you restart...

Hmm... Well I did restart after installing the patch, and it still didn't work. Oh well, at least it's working now.
Thanks Pavol.

From my side I can tell that I am putting in an additional piece of code which will fix this problem for good - it will remove the dependency on the system path variable.
