Doi. I've been meaning to post this suggestion for a while.

Can we get way to choose textures with a thumbnail?

For that matter, can we get an option to select the thumbnail pull-down to appear in the folders that we store them in as in our Inventory? This way instead of scrolling through pages of alphabetized textures, I can go to solids -> wood -> oak ?

Great suggestion. It's ridiculous to scroll through an alphabetical drop-down list of hundreds of accumulated textures, regardless of which subfolder they're in.

Sure! Absolutely!

Also, a better way to cache your available textures would be welcome -- as it's tediously slow to select each one and get it to rez. Especially when you have so many of them, it slows down the creative process. Would be cool to have them downloaded to HD ahead of time, so that they can be browsed one after another... SNAP!
