removing material libraries from the mat.browser

[p_kranz]

hello

How do I remove material libraries from the Material Browser window? I added several libraries (marked with red dots) some time ago but later on moved the files around folders and the paths are no more valid so I would like to remove them from the Browser leaving only the Max's default ones.

Right mouse click on the library and select the "Close Material Library" option.

Right mouse click on the library and select the "Close Material Library" option.

well, i know it sounded like a very noobish question but i don't have such an option there.
I was accustomed to the material editor from both max 2009 and 2010 but this one from 2011 is kinda different. Dunno what am I missing... :<
Edited: this is strange, bcoz as you can on the screenshot this option is unavailable in compact editor but appears in the slate editor. Why is it so?

Ahh - after much headscratching I see what you're doing. The Browser you're seeing is for SELECTING a material, not for maintaining the libraries. Rendering > Material/Map Browser will give you the full one.

Thanks, solved. (imho it's a bit weird that you cannot do it from the "selecting" menu, as it can be done while using the slate version).

Because the one inside slate is the same one as the one you get from the Rendering Menu - if you close the one in Slate, the "tick" by the option on the Rendering menu disappears.
