Texture Loading

Hi,

thanks for the current fixes.

While beeing in preview render mode, adding or changing textures will trigger a complete
recompilation / transfer of the scene. In Standalone feedback is nearly instant.

On a medium complex scene with 3 Million Tris and 2GB VRAM used, this will take 55s on my system,
which makes material creation inside Blender a real pain.

This behaviour is present at least in 3.07 and 3.08 Blender Plug-In Versions.

Can this please be fixed.

Thanks.

If you open a texture from a disk Blender will replace interactive window with file browser. This will abort rendering and will restart after opening a texture. The same happens in Cycles. This is Blender's fault.
To not to restart rendering open separate window (Shift click on Area Split Widget) and add new texture using this window. Works both on Octane and Cycles without restarting the rendering.
