Hi

I have "Auto-Update Previews" turned off. So if I change octane material to see the changes on the thumbnail I have to manually refresh it - and that is ok.

But whenever I change something in the material, change thumbs size, or - the most important - change the name of the material - It wants to refresh - and turns to default rhino material view.

Is it possible to prevent it so it stays as it was all the time? Is it octane or Rhino issue?

Regards,
Mac

Hi Mac - this looks like a Rhino issue. If I turn ON auto-update previews the problem is resolved. But you are right - with that setting OFF the icon changes to black when you rename the material. I checked in the debugger, and Rhino is not asking the plugin to re-render the icon after the name change, so I don't think it's a plugin issue.
