Material Editor - Inactive

[kostenurka]

Hi,

Sometimes Material editor stays "frozen" in gray.
I have to minimize and maximize Rhino to get material editor active

What version of V-Ray you have?

This happens with my version - vray_academic_150221_rhino4_x86
It doesnt have any real pattern of occurence from what I have noticed.

It's a GUI timeout that was put in place recently. It allows you to have your license disabled on a machine after a certain period of inactivity, so you can use it on another machine. You should be able to wake up the UI by just clicking on the scene materials in the material editor. If it's getting in your way, you can change the timeout period in the V-Ray for Rhino ini file ("C:\ProgramData\ASGVIS\V-Ray For Rhino.ini" or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ASGVIS\V-Ray For Rhino.ini"), just open the file in a text editor like notepad and change the number here:

[Licensing]
gui_timeout_minutes=5

By default it's set to 5 minutes, but you can set it to any number you want.
