Is there a way to save self made octane materials locally?

I asked about this in the past, it is in the plugin, but the option is currently greyed out. t_3 is working on it for a future release.

i like to add, that this is the top priority missing thing.

as a workaround - if you like to keep something from a specific scene, you currently could, at the end, just delete all the (geometry) content, so you have just a bunch of unlinked octane mats, delete any octane mat you don't want to keep, and save the result into a new .duf file - you can now merge this .duf into another scene, factually importing all the octane mats (and render/environment settings)...

This is what I've been doing especially for SSS Skin mix mats and it is working fine since latest update (mix mat problems fixed!! thx t_3)!

Thank, the workaround will be just fine for the time until there is an option
