I think there is a compromise here, where someone was working on a library for Blender, to be distributed with the install. The oldLibrary script was a BIG step in the right direction, and the effort to make a set of settings for procedural, I am sure, could be expanded to include a stock set of images in the various categories (UV Test grid falls into the Abstract category). At the least, we can fold them into the material lib distro that is already available thru Blender.org (that old one about 8 years old but is still just as useful).

There is a difference about what can be done: "Anyone can add a python extension", and what should be done to improve usability of Blender. We know that the level of user-friendliness of Blender is its major criticism. We all know how to use Blender, how to add textures, write Python scripts etc. This is not about how easy or hard is, for developers, to dosomething but how friendly Blender is "out of the box" for the average user. http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
