Apply material without need to close the mat dialog

[Paul Oblomov]

Apply material without need to close the mat dialog. Really handy for me. In case you tests your materials on simple object. When render lasts seconds.

By saying "close" - I mean that when you hit the OK button, dialog closes. Maybe place Apply button near Cancel button ?

That would mean you could have multiple windows open at the same time for different objects, which can be very confusing. Currently the material is object based, there's no material editor like in max which can hold multiple materials.

I think it is better to wait untill there is a real mat editor.

I'd have to agree with Wouter on this one. Any efforts to improve material creation will largely be focused on an editor of sorts, which would have this behavior. However, there is still much planning to determine what the best routes for an editor will be.
