Can't rename materials - Geertvc - 01-08-2017

Using wings3D 2.1.5 on Windows 10, Home Edition.

It's apparently not possible to rename the default materials. Right-click on a material and select 'Rename'. Popup menu disappears instantaneously and nothing happens.

Just to clarify... do you mean the material named 'Default' or any material present in the Outliner window?
Because, despite the strange behaviour the Default material cannot be renamed.

Hi,
Yes, I meant the 'default' material. I was not aware this one couldn't be renamed. Duplicates of 'default' can be renamed as wished.
Thanks for the clarification.

PS. Most probably that's also the reason as to why the colour of 'default' can be changed, but is not remembered? ... Yep, indeed. Just tried it and all the others 'remember' their settings; 'default' is not...

Thanks for the feedback. Smile

Duplicates of 'default' material should not happens anymore. It should be ok since v2.1.
It used to be duplicated when we load a project in Wings3d that uses a different Theme (color schema) from the one the project was created.
