Is there an easy way to transfer several Octane materials to my LocalDB? Right now, I am dragging one at a time to my LocalDB window... That is getting old...

drag from mat manager to any localdb category. that's only way. what's the problem? do yo want to transfer livedb materials to localdb? each material has a file in cache folder. you can find location from popup menu command and copy to other directory.

Hi Aoktar,
I have encoutered a problem when I drag a material on LocalDB window, C4D hangout! So Ctrl+Alt+Canc is the remedy.
When I restart C4D the material I have dragged on LocalDB is present, but no preview available.
The older material has the previews.
WIN 8.1 64bit - Nvidia latest 353.62 driver - C4D 16.050 - O Standalone 2.24 plugin 2.24.1

Hi Aoktar,
it occur for any material, diffuse o glossy, even the simplest, ie without texture or shader.

I'm checking. New sdk can have a problem, codes ares same on plugin side.
But please post this kind of reports on related topics. Ex. in 2.24.0 release topic. Because it's not common issue and causing unnecessary confusions for me and other users.
