Create shader > C: > c4doctane > Octane Material

Other renderers, like Cycles 4D and Redshift, they have their own menu to create shaders in Materials.
Is this a bug on my version or does everyone have this "C:" substep?
Feels like a small fix and maybe isn't a big thing. But it makes it look a bit newb or like an error.

You can use LV or node editor for faster creation of materials.

I know, just think it's weird and annoying it's done this way.

Well, It's not easy or quick fix for current structure.

This might be specific to the way you installed Octane. I vaguely remember someone else also complaining about this but regarding the shaders menu instead (discussion is buried in the release threads so it's hard to find). Below you can see how that menu should look like and that's how it looked like for me for the last 6 years on both OSX and Win and it still does.

Hmm... I install it by copy pasting it into
C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20_4FA5020E\plugins\c4doctane and removing older versions.
Are you installing it into
C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\plugins?

I am on R19 and the plugin is installed in the usual Program Files/MAXON/...etc. folder.
I just tried R20 too and I didn't see that issue no matter where I Installed the plugin
. I tried both appdata and program files locations. Both 4.02.1R3 and 2018.1.1 work fine. I'm not sure what else could cause this.
