[Bf-committers] Appending objects with identical material

Hello everyone!

When appending an object from one file into another, materials on that 
object will be appended as well. If any of the materials on the object 
have the same name as an existing one in the file, then the appended 
material is incremented with a number. That's just how it should work, 
if the materials are in fact different. However, no check is made for 
this. If you're appending a lot of objects with the same material, you 
can get alot of duplicates this way.

Could you guys make this better by doing a check for identical materials? If 
they match, then use the existing material and avoid creating 
duplicates. That could save a lot of clicks in some situations.

Regards,


Karl
