I think it would be great to have a more robust color/materials palette:

  • Thumbnail mode (how it currently appears)
  • List mode (small thumbnail on left, name on the right)
  • Add a means to sort or reorder by name
  • And/or being able to group materials into folders

Related, when hovering over the material in Entity Info, it ought to provide the name of the color/material.

When selecting the material in Entity Info, although it outlines the material in the Material palette, that outline can be difficult to find in files with many materials. Being able to adjust the selection’s outline color would be helpful.

Dead right.
As a relative n00b I still find it horrible to navigate and it’s holding me back from developing that side of my skills.
If anyone has any amazing tutorials they can point to it would be very much appreciated.
