[Bf-committers] Texture assignment workflow is confusing

[malefico]

+1 to mapping options being in material/modifier/whatever

+1 to get shading influence settings out of texture panel and back into 
material (mockup presented by Doug Olivier)

I believe the presence of a stack of slots in 2.4 or a list of textures 
in 2.5 in the Texture panels is confusing. I know it is there to allow 
fast browsing of textures which is great, but maybe it would be better 
to split it into:

a. texture browser: showing names + small previews
b. texture editor: showing a big (BIG) preview of the texture, and its 
parameters/options

Just an idea

Regards

malefico.
