A dialog for File->Merge

[oort]

Micheus,

About the images being listed in materials you are right that they are not. I wasn't looking close enough and was mistaking materials with a name ending with .jpg as being images even though they were materials and not images. Sorry for causing confusion...

Thanks for the fixes. I will download and give it a try.

Thanks,
oort

I have done a quick test...

(1) Is fixed in my limited testing.
(2) Thanks!
(3) I see you shortened "Replace Objects" but not yet "Rename Objects". "Replace Elements" sounds good and could probably already be used.

(4) Sorry to say I am still getting the wrong material. I will e-mail you the file I am testing with. It is a messy file (not using proper material names, etc.). I test by only trying to merge in the "Marble" material. No objects, lights, views, etc..

Edit: I notice that when objects in the file being merged in are locked they cannot be "auto-selected" (make all new selected). This makes sense, but I wonder if it would be difficult to unlock them so that they can be "auto-selected" (make all new selected)???

Edit2: Maybe "Make all new object/light selected" could be renamed "Make all new Selection"???

Edit3: In the Palette_Glass test file I e-mailed you, no matter what material I choose "Aquamarine_glass gets merged in...

Thanks,
oort
