a couple of words - about preview textures in viewport

[B_S]

1- Can we expect preview textures just in node in node editor as in 3ds max?
2- In node "image file texture" all numerical settings not show in viewport changes and because of that have to do after every changes - rerender - to see the results?
Any advice how to deal with this two points?

If one object has 5 materials with uv image textures, I make 5 additional Blender render textures for showing those textures correct in 3d viewport.
I dont know if there are another way.

1. I'll check if API has some functionality for that, but afair thats not possible.
2. All of the V-Ray nodes are only for render, they can't draw themself in the viewport, but I'll research what we could do...
