[Bf-committers] Texture assignment workflow is confusing

[Jaevixa McNomera]

Domino,

I agree 100%! I use a "glow effect" node group that I can control various
aspects of the glow all the time, and the number one draw back when I first
made the group was having to keep track of what the inputs and outputs were
all connected to INSIDE when the group wasn't open. It would be AWESOME to
have a library-like system, or at the very least, when we append a .blend
file, to have any node groups show up as items that can be appended. That
way we can store one .blend with all the most important groups in it, and
use it as a library of sorts by appending which ones we want from it.
