I think it would be a big time saver if mxm files saved also the preview scene last used when editing that material. This way when I open a particular mxm for editing it will render the last used preview scene and not the default scene.
I lose a lot of time changing preview scenes.

If you find that you use one preview scene most of the time, you can rename the scene to "defaultpreview.mxs".

C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 3\preview

You probably already know that, but just thought I'd throw it out there for others.

Thanks Bubba. Yep, I already knew that; it lessens the pain a bit but it would be better if mxm memorizes its preview scene.

it only could be a problem if you open the material on another system where the scene is missing. But then the default scene could be used automatically...
