This list will be updated I guess... Please share your thoughts

About Studio's interface

1. It would be nice to have the items sorted alphabetically all the time.
2. The materials (MXMs) should have a comment
3. I need some info (message, progress bar etc) when maxwell is working. For example, previewing the material, saving the file, creating the coop MXI etc.
4. More buttons that actually help, like zoom to fit, orbit, etc.
5. Select with filters... or select while typing, or select with wildcards
6. Some dialogs should appear with double-click. For example, a 2-click on a projector should make the projector's props dialog appear
7. Camera should be handled as an object, move it simply by dragging

I second 3 and 7. The others would be nice though

6 is working now this way, you can double-click on a projector name ans the projector properties appear

I'm against this one. Alpha sort is OK as an option, but I do not want it enforced. I almost always want to set the order of each list by my own criteria.

Oh yes.

3. I need some info (message, progress bar etc) when maxwell is working. For example, previewing the material, saving the file, creating the coop MXI etc.

YES please. Material preview is the worst offender.

6. Some dialogs should appear with double-click. For example, a 2-click on a projector should make the projector's props dialog appear

Yes. The worst one for me is that double-clicking a material in the Object list should bring up the material editor. I can't stop doing that...it should work.
