Material Properties Window not scrollable - oort - 03-26-2013
This is a problem only because of plug-ins like YafaRay, Ribber (Renderman) and any other rendering plug-in which may have a large number of material properties.
When you expand (+) the settings the window expands as one would want and expect. However if the list of material properties is extra long the Material Properties window will move so high in the Wings Window that you can no longer access the Ok or Cancel buttons. Maybe the size should be limited to fit inside of the Wings Window so that this will not happen and the ability to scroll the window be added as it is for the Outliner, Geometry, etc. windows???
Edit: I decided to copy this here from the old forum.
Thanks,

Yeah, that's very annoying.
As I told in the other thread, I would like to spend some time for checking this. But, after Optigon's announces about review the View Ports and Status bar info, the main issue is to know how deep will be the Optigon's changes to Wings3d UI? It really doesn't include a dialogs review?
I already asked about, but no answer yet. The time must be well used.
Thinking about get some independence from main devs for add any new kind of controls to Wings3d dialogs I'm trying to get approbation for this wings_ask add-on.
As an example I make converted that Color ramp control (I used on Heightmap plugin) an external control that could be used by any other plugin.
I hope it can be accepted - I would like to create/use other controls than those supplied by Wings3d.

Micheus,
Sounds like a good plan.

dgud,
Is there any chance we could get scrolling added to the dialogs for Render Settings and Material Properties Dialogs in the next (1.6) release? With all the extra work that povmaniac is doing to add things to YafaRay/The Bounty, the Render settings and Material properties windows will not hold all the settings without either the top or bottom of the dialogs going off screen.
Thanks,
oort
