Great feature! And what about realtive/absolute paths from aperture,finder etc., that are (are not?) generated for upcomming external scripts (renderers)?

Has there been any consideration into making a ‘Material Library’ or ‘Object Library’, the same was Flash has? So you could just make something, put it in the library, then drag it into the scenes you want it, and edit the library version when you want to. And then you could export/import materials and libraries from the library.

I really don’t know if this has been considered, hence why I asking, just curious. :3

And this new feature looks absolutely brilliant, great work devs! You continue to impress! This software has a faster and better development cycle than commercial projects, fantastic work!

Glad to see the improvements coming along. However, for this feature, it seems more useful to drag to a material than to an object. You must be assuming that the user wants to apply the texture to the diffuse channel, and only the first texture layer. I noticed it wrote over the texture already applied to one cube in your video. For very simple materials, it looks useful, but for experienced users this doesn’t seem practical.

When will X11 environments (like Linux) be supported? At least in 2.50 final (or is 2.50 final 2.60?), I hope.

Wow ! Drag and Drop is very important for Blender. Specially for people who use Blender the first time. Also for pro users coming from Max or Maya it saves a lot of time.

Thanks for this great feature. A big step forward for Blender.
