Thanks for the update.

A bug? - when I press arrows and hold a mouse button for changing e.g., SX, SY, TX, ... values they are changed only by one incremental value (i.e. 0.0001).

BTW Where is the function to mirror the image texture?

Oh I see - in the border mode

Great update!

We forgot to mention it in the change list: You have to move the mouse up or down to scroll through the numbers and by pressing SHIFT it increments/decrements 10x faster and by pressing CTRL it increments/decrements 100x faster.

It's a new image wrap mode (which you find in the image texture nodes).

Works like a charm! Much better than in 1.22

BTW - when I choose "CLAMP VALUE" in the border mode mode I see kind of stretched texture over the area where the box is white - see the attachment. Could you please write something more how the clamp value works (any link if it's been already described)?

It repeats the image pixels which are at the edges of the image.
So if your image has a red border, the clamp value should make the rest red.

Face, shall I use a PNG with transparent border to get a single (non-tiled) image? Sorry for a dumb question, but I don't get the idea of this "clamp value".

You can use it as an example when you have a gradient.

I have a feature request. It has probably been asked for several times. If so then I apologise. Would it be possible to be able to select a material by selecting its node pin. Quite often I want to change several materials (cloth_001, cloth_002 for example) that have their pins next to each other so it would be much easier to select the pins than it is to find the correct material in the scene. In fact I quite often find it hard to select the correct material from a scene when the object which has that material is quite small. Being able to just click on the pin would be a lot easier.
