suggestion: save materials parameters

probably discussed tons of times, but I'm a newbie so...
It will increase a lot the current usability of the software: the ability of saving "patches" inside the single modules (ex. material) and recall the settings you already saved. also useful for me the ability of duplicate the modules already created.
Currently I didn't find any way to save the materials I created as "presets" for a library, for using them in the same project or other works.

by the way, fantastic work, go on!

may I suggest collapsible compound nodes? (ala Houdini's or Softimage's ICE nodes)

about collapsible compound nodes, I have no experience of houdini, but I also was wondering about the opportunity of import obj with materials (as we currently do) but see them as "collapsible compound nodes" with separate mesh geometry and materials entity.. (any experience of reaktor audio interface? the nodes can be macros that contains an extra level of structure)
