Rhino 8 Material Rename Cancels

Rendering

Recently in Rhino 8 I’ve noticed something weird when naming/renaming a material:

  1. Click on a layer material in the Layer tab
  2. When the material edit window pops up, edit the name of the material to something new
  3. Now when you hit the Enter key it closes that window as excepted, but it also cancels the rename

On the other hand:

  1. Click on a layer material in the Layer tab
  2. When the material edit window pops up, edit the name of the material to something new
  3. Click on any of the controls (reflectivity, roughness, etc.) on that edit page (you don’t even need to move a slider, just click on it)
  4. Now when you hit the Enter key it closes that window as excepted and the rename actually sticks this time

I’m not exactly sure when Rhino 8 started doing this, but I feel like it’s probably since the last update (I’m on SR5).

Logged the bug and fixed it in 8.7.

I’ve installed Rhino 8 SR7 2024-5-17, but I am still seeing the same behavior with this name change bug.

I will reopen the bug.

The new attempt to fix this is now in v8.9.

Hi Max Just bumping, Agreed still the same behaviour which is also affecting Enscape-based materials as well. Additionally:

Running 8.7.24138.15431, 2024-05-17

  1. When Enscape materials are duplicated in the Rhino material manager, they don’t show up in the Enscape material editor.
  2. When Materials are duplicated they can’t be renamed and even the default duplicated name doesn’t update and refresh in Enscape Materials.

Hope it Helps

Many thanks,
Edwin

@Edwin8 Thanks, I made a YT for this problem RH-82603 Duplicated material does not show up in Enscape material editor

@Edwin8 We looked at RH-82603 Duplicated material does not show up in Enscape material editor with Enscape developers and we could not reproduce. It might be that we do something differently? Is this still a problem? We might need more specific steps how to test this.
